Our verdict
In-between country in the best sense — village below, Dunkery above, and these easy wooded tracks joining them. Use it to climb out of Wootton Courtenay the shady way, and the pub-to-moor arithmetic works beautifully.
Oak, birch and pine over the old common land between Wootton Courtenay and the Dunster forests, with tracks contouring the hillside under Grabbist ridge and views across the Avill vale to Dunkery Beacon.
Wooded common on the slopes above Wootton Courtenay, open on foot at all times.
