There are plenty of paths of varying terrain so it doesn’t matter if you want a nice stroll followed by a cup of tea with your date, or if you want to ramble through the woods and climb trees. From here you can also get to the Wellington Monument. Take a walk to the highest point of the Blackdown Hills for amazing views of the area. Image via PussyCatVictor on Flickr.
