Good to know

This easy walk has historical interest as well as some wonderful views across to Dunkery Beacon on Exmoor and the Welsh coast. The walk includes areas of Medieval forest dating back to King Alfred in 873 AD, as well as the remains of an attempt to extract oil in Somerset!

On the headland you pass the Royal Navy Quadrant Range Hut, which was used during air gunnery practice by fixed wing aircraft until 1995, when it was re-designated as a helicopter gunnery range. It remains in occasional use today and is attached to RNAS Yeovilton.
