Wills Neck Summit

Highlight • Natural Monument

This is the highest point in the Quantocks with a summit at 1,266 feet (386 m). Wills Neck is also one of the highest points in Somerset. Surrounded by open heathland, you'll find a trig point near the summit and fantastic views to the south, west and east. The patchwork countryside unfolds before you and on a clear day you can see across to Dartmoor, Exmoor and the Mendips.

Cockercombe Bottom Mountain Bike Trails

Highlight • Trail

Technical Downhill MTB Trails
Park up at Triscombe Stone Car Park and have sum fun looping around these very fast and technical descents. Lots to discover from the access road and the other side of Cockercombe Bottom. Nearly all trails end up on the fire track, from hear make your way east and north back up to the start to try another trail - enjoy.

Lovely down hill classic section with a nice rock section to negotiate about a third of the way down. slightly tamed at the bottom section after some forestry works but well worth a go.

The Drove Road (Quantock Hills)

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

The Drove Road is an avenue of Beech trees which was originally used by ancient traders to transport goods and livestock to the port at Watchet.

If you keep your eyes peeled you can see cairns and barrows which mark the graves of Bronze Age settlers.

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Whether the Parson had exclusive rights to this lane once upon a time is unknown - but it's still an ace fun descent down to the reservoir.
