Cool little information stand here with information; did you know this species is the largest living thing on earth? The big ones can be 3 motorway lanes wide! They are sometimes called “vegetable monsters” and they were brought to the uk from California by the SS Great Britain!

Penpole Point is a stone sundial standing at 67m on the western end of the hill. It marks the end of the Kings Weston estate. There used to be great views from here but in recent years it's become overgrown. Still a nice place to sit and enjoy a break from your walk.

Abbotts Pool is a lovely little lake surrounded by woodland. You reach the lake via a network of lanes and bridleways. It lies on the NCN Route 334. The pools were closed in 2020 due to littering and anti-social behaviour. Makes sure you leave no trace so that humans can enjoy the beautiful spot alongside its wildlife.

Abbots Pool is a tranquil pond nestled within an idyllic mature woodland. The pond was originally part of a series of pools developed by medieval monks to farm fish. Due to some antisocial behaviour at the pond, activities such as swimming and barbecues have been banned. However, there are still lots of beautiful trails to explore in this nature reserve, which is home to much wildlife including deer, bats and birds.

Small water feature at the edge of the pond, there are steps leading down to the left where you can get an alternative view, along with a bench for a spot of lunch

Please note the pool is currently closed to walkers and swimmers.

A little slice of California in the West Country. These are genuine Californian Redwoods (Sequoia) bought back from travels to America from the 19th Century.
