Mixed terrain trail through Woodland

Amazing and outstanding area to explore 😀

An ideal place for dog walkers and trail seekers alike, Cothelstone Hill has great views and lots of paths and trails to explore. I approached this route slightly different completing it in a figure of eight direction. Instead of bearing left and heading south, I went west straight up to the view point and then down to the old plantation pathway. Some of the trails especially heading down towards Wilfs Path are overgrown and can be quite tricky to navigate. It’s recommended to wear hiking boots or wellies going into the autumn and winter months because some of the lower paths leading down to the road side are very muddy.

Hawkridge Reservoir is a reservoir near Spaxton, Somerset, England. The inflow is from several streams in the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, including Peart Water, which continues below the reservoir in a northeast direction to Spaxton, where it enters the Ashford Reservoir

Wills neck is the highest summit in the Quantocks hills & one of the highest points in Somerset.

At this location in Hawkridge Common is a wonderful viewpoint fit with a wooden viewing bench overlooking Aisholt Common. As you venture towards this spot, you will stumble upon a fascinating relic of the past - an impeccably restored Lime Kiln dating back to the 1930s. This historical gem once played a vital role in the local lime production, churning out an impressive 5 to 8 tonnes per day, and stands today as a testament to the area's industrial heritage.

From this vantage point near Cothelstone Hill, you can enjoy tremendous views across the beautiful Quantocks. Not only is it a wonderful viewpoint, but the area is steeped in archaeological history. It is the site of a Bronze Age barrow, and home to the ruins of a folly and a post-medieval tree-ring enclosure.
