Our verdict
Park at any gate and simply wander. Ponies, skylarks and a combe in every direction — commons walking as it should be.
The open spine of the Quantocks — miles of heath, whortleberry and ancient trackway linking the tops, grazed by ponies and roamed at will.
Open access land under the Countryside & Rights of Way Act. You're free to roam on foot beyond the paths. Dogs on a short lead 1 March to 31 July and around livestock.
