One thing I do love is a well placed hiking seat. Just like this one!!

Small wooden seat overlooking the rolling hills, perfect for place for a rest

My only visit to this area so far. Was ok, but not really anything that gripped me.

If you like finding Ordinance Survey triangulation points Staple Hill is a good one to seek out. It’s located in the woodland on the left of the pathway if you are travelling up from the carpark. Be prepared to seek it out though. It is not visible from the path and blends in nicely against the backdrop of trees.

Came across a section of old wall, after going to inspect it, beyond it were ruinous buildings and foundations. there were so many just hidden in bushes and trees. No signs to say what they were, and nothing found online. I wonder what was here and when these buildings were from?

Beautiful panoramic views across miles upon miles of countryside.

Staple Hill is a hill in the English county of Somerset, the highest point in the Blackdown Hills. It is classed as both a Marilyn and a Hardy. This is one of the points on the Staple Fitzpaine Herepath ( I could think of other things to call the Herepath, but i'd get banned ) a part of Forestry England woodlands. There is a loop walk, starting from the car parking area, of 800m taking in a couple of view points with the paths upgraded early in 2009 to be suitable for disabled access.

***TRIGGER WARNING*** Contains adult based information. Car park is free to use, and not locked of an evening. I got here late in the evening, and I stayed in the back of 4x4. Set up bed and settled in for the night. closing the blinds, also have blacked out windows. Unbeknownst to me, as i'm not local to this area, it is a hotspot for ... Dogging. A lot of activity through out the night with vehicles coming and going. But I ignored it, watched a bit of deadliest catch and fell asleep. 7 hours later, car park empty apart from yours truly, and my venture out began.
