Our verdict
A tea-and-cake hill: up from the village, round the stone circle, back for the Royal Oak. Gentle by Exmoor standards and lovely in August heather.
The heather hill straight above Withypool village, with a small stone circle hidden on its southern flank and the Barle valley curling round below.
