    Hiking

    One of the most majestic trails in the Quantocks, the Drove is a medieval track that travels along the top of the hills and forms an avenue with trees on both sides. Packed earth and rocky sections provide excellent hiking and cycling, and the Drove is wide although uneven throughout.

    There are many points along the Drove's route where you can enjoy simply phenomenal views across the lower Somerset landscape. Highland cattle and sheep also graze the fields beside it, so don't be surprised if you peer over a gate and find a furry face looking back at you.
