Our verdict
A young wood doing its growing in public — come back in twenty years for the full effect, or come now for an easy village loop where the skylarks still outnumber the shade. West Coker's pub anchors it nicely.
Native woodland growing up on the slopes outside West Coker, in the soft hamstone-and-hedgerow country between Yeovil and the Dorset border. Mown rides, field views, and trees still filling out.
Young Woodland Trust wood, open at all times. Footpath access from the village lanes.
