Coombe Hill, Dundon Beacon and the Polden Way

This is a 14km circular route taking in the picturesque Somerset countryside and around the Polden Hills.  Starting from the Coombe Hill wood,  we follow the Polden Way through Kings Wood and Great Beach Wood, where the Polden Way ends at Hurcot Hill, providing spectacular views towards Somerton and across the moors.

We then drop down to the valley and head up through the fields towards the Iron Age hill fort and nature reserve of Dundon Beacon. From here the route heads back up to re-join the Polden Way at Collard Hill, the location of the re-introduction of rare Large Blue butterflies in 2000.  From here we follow the Polden Way back to our start point, passing the large column that can be seen in the distance throughout today's walk, the Admiral Hood monument.
