You can also get a bird’s eye view of stationary traffic on the M5 during the summer months! The views here are breath-taking with the Coast and Wales on one side, and Glastonbury Tor rising up on the other. The path is very straight, and you will have more downhill until you reach the peak where a very short final ascent will bring you to the top. You can then carry on towards the peak which you will see in the distance, something akin to the top of a witch’s hat. This is a great spot to take in views of Cheddar and beyond.
At the top of this hill you will see a viewpoint and map to your left. You will then pass a house on your right and head up another hill (steep and slippery in the wet). There are often horses and cows grazing here so keep your dog well under control. If you walk from the car park straight through the woods and up a hill this will quickly bring you out to open grassland where you will see the walk ahead.
People come and go all of the time, so spaces can become free quite quickly. This is situated at the A38 end of Winscombe hill. Be aware the car park is small and can be busy especially when the weather is favourable, there is also limited parking on the road. You can start from either side of the hill, both a lovely but for a longer walk start at the Kings wood car park. Set in over eight hundred acres this walk had it all. Part of the Mendip hills, Crook Peak sits over on the west. We have selected some of our favourites that have previously been well trodden by our namesake chocolate Labradors Oscar and Hooch, here are nine walks they loved. Aside from all of that, there are some beautiful walks to take in with stunning coastline and historic sites as well as Britain’s tallest gorge. Somerset is known for many things including the Glastonbury Festival, cider, cricket and the Britain’s oldest preserved skeleton (Cheddar man).
