Parked near Crowcombe Park Gate. It was a cold cloudy day with strong winds and a few spots of rain in the air. The ground was still rock hard and icy from the recent cold spell. Headed along the Beech Drove to Triscombe Stone, where I saw a huge flock of Chaffinches and Bramblings. Up to Will Neck and back via Black Knap and Triscombe then along the Drove and up Black Hill just before sunset. Time just under 2 hours for just over 5 miles. | isabelle | 20/01/2024 |
Run from Dead Woman’s Ditch to Wills Neck, Lydeard Hill, Cothelstone Hill. Back along the flanks of the first two, and then up Black Hill and finally Dowsborough and a return to the start with a bit of a loop to make it up to a half marathon. Time taken 2 hours 9 minutes for 13.19 miles and 1624feet of ascent. | isabelle | 22/10/2023 |

Up and back from the Lydeard Hill CP ST181134. Enjoyed the colourful heather and gorse. Pity the mountain bikers ignore the no cycling sign. | Newton Maximus | 19/08/2023 |
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, 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. With Gillian | richard69 | 26/07/2023 |

Wills Neck, Lydeard Hill and Cothelstone Hill. With Alma Aurea / D. | meltdiceburg | 26/02/2023 |
Parked in Dead Woman's Ditch, headed up to Dowsborough, doubled back and went out to Black Hill and Hurley Beacon before heading out past Fire Beacon, Great Hill Cairn, Wills Neck and 	Lydeard Hill before making a loop and coming back through Great Wood dodging MTB riders. Didn't realise I could have carried on to Cothelstone Hill and Broomfield Hill, had the legs to do the lot today but will have to come back (not that I need an excuse!) | lboutside | 25/02/2023 |
