Logged Descriptions  (logged by 40 users)ByDate of Ascent
From a local campsite walked to Bishops Lydeard and took the No28 bus to Bicknoller from where we walked up onto the ridge. Then heading S to Black Hill, Wills Neck, Lydeard Hill, Broomfield Hill (unmarked path from 5 way junction to SW with parking for 2 cars), Cothelstone Hill and back to the campsite. Weather was breezy and overcast before turning to rain midway through. The drover road section after Crowcombe Gate under the beech trees was very atmospheric in the cloud and the breeze.

Crowcombe to Taunton. As well as DG's gate, there's a stile W of trig (ST218332) guarded by some impressively horned but docile highland cattle.Smudge08/03/2015
I parked at the Pines Tea Shop walked along the road to the Pub then turned left on a path up to the hill. Summit was between the small copse and the trig point. I also visited the other area over 290 metres near the wood. Large flock of Chaffinch feeding on Beech Masts. I did get some views but it was cool and breezy with some sleety showers.isabelle28/01/2015
