Combe Hill Wood — Attraction in Butleigh

We've not been to Combe Hill Park for a few years. It got too much for our gorgeous girls (dogs) to walk. We've since sadly lost them both. We now have another gorgeous little girl. We love taking her to all the places that her sisters used to love. This being one of them. There are so many different ways to walk. It's so peaceful and quite a bit of parking for FREE. You will need wellies, as it gets very mucky. Not suitable for mobility scooters or wheelchairs (unless you have a Tramper). It's a shame because I really could do with using mine. Dogs can be let of leads, but there is the main road, which is easily accessible, so please bear that in mind if your dogs tend to wander. We take a flask of coffee.

Even in the rain this is enchanting. There is parking avaliable. The woods are free to explore but they are run by a commission and privately owned so do read the notices on the way and see if you want to support them. You can have a wonderful time there and please, please remove any of you rubbish or...

Beautiful woodlands. On road parking. No toileting facilities close by so be prepared. The woodlands itself isn't suitable for those with mobility difficulties but would suit the Explorer or gentle mountain biker. No taxing hills of great length but enough to keep it interesting.

I went with two children aged 2 and 4 and they thoroughly enjoyed exploring freely and didn't find the walking too challenging. :)

Enjoy the woods and the...
