From the carpark, it was a 5 minute plodding up to the building. (Cows seem to use it as a shelter.) There is a view of Bruton - quite pretty. I really haven't much to say. The drive was not worth it, I'm afraid. There was a tense movement as cows appeared from around the hill and converged on my wife. Luckily l, she didn't feel the need to run.

This can be just as well enjoyed from a distance as up close. If you do make the trip, access was via the carpark next to the playground. It was a short walk involving a style and step uneven slope.

Should be converted into Landmark Trust property in my opinion which would give it a longterm sustainable use. If visiting during the Summer months, beware of nettles, thistles, ticks and cowpats if wearing sandals, flip-flops, dresses and shorts. The surrounding ground is rather steep too.
