    The Disabled Ramblers Quantocks Tour is taking place between 25th and 29th September. It includes four rambles with this one taking in Dead Woman's Ditch and Dowsborough Hill Fort.

    The Disabled Ramblers is a small charity working across England and Wales to help make the countryside more accessible to people with limited mobility. To participate in these rambles you need to be a member and details can be via the information link.

    From the Great Wood car park toilet we take the forestry path up to Crowcombe car park and cross directly through Crowcombe car park north and slightly west to the trig point and then round more to the west back onto the main path and on to Halsway Post. From here we go to Dead Woman's Ditch car park and then take the forest track on the left up to Dowsborough Hill Fort, described by Dorothy Wordsworth as "one of the mightiest hillforts in Somerset", before retuning to the car park.

    Ramble: 6.5 Miles, Cat 3+
