4.3 mile walk from Porlock Post minor road junction. We followed the easy stony track up to the summit of Dunkery Beacon which we had previously bagged in 2010. We then followed the good track up to to Great Rowbarrow which we hadn't done before. Then followed a small path from the summit back to the outward route. 124m ascent. A few people about. Nice and sunny today but windy. Earlier that day we bagged Winsford Hill. | DanTrig | 22/03/2024 |
From Dunkery Gate to Dunkery Beacon. Good views to the snow covered Brecon Beacons. Across to Great Rowbarrow where I had a chat with a lovely lady. I headed northwest to the minor road then round the northern flanks of the hills to Dicky’s path and then back up to Dunkery Beacon and down to Dunkery Gate. Wildlife; Buzzard Crows, Red Deer, Stonechats, Great Tit. Tiny amount of snow on the NE Side of Dunkery. Time 3 hours for 6 miles. | isabelle | 03/03/2024 |

simple climb from dunkery bridge car park, rained for 20 mins or so on way up but had stopped when reached summit. large pile of stones waiting to be made into a decent cairn. views would be superb on a clear day - but today was restricted. | stig_nest | 20/11/2012 |
I started this walk at Wheddon Cross and climbed to Dunkery Hill and then used the ridge top track that takes you to Great Rowbarrow. Its a fantastic ridge walk and i was so fortunate to get amazing sunshine in the combes below with sunlit and dark clouds. Very atmospheric place! The track leads onto the Macmillan way west, meets a minor road and I headed to Exford at the Junction following the track called South lane before heading off on the footpath direct to Exford. | Dazingdale | 29/10/2012 |
Think the high point is the bronze age cairn but the smaller pile of stones may be higher. | andrew brown | 14/10/2012 |
