Overview

A circular walk starting at Broadhembury village centre. We walk north to North Hill beware of gliders taking off and then on towards Black Down, edging Forest Glade. Taking a sharp turn south we follow the escarpment with panoramic views to the west arriving at Knowles Wood. We then follow a small lane heading west to the village of Kerswell. From Kerswell we head south to return to Broadhembury where we can partake in the delights of the Drewe Arms, a 16th century village inn.
