Overview

We leave the charming village of Dunster to climb Gallox Hill. Our route wends its way to Timberscombe through woodland and fields. We are soon climbing again and hopefully we shall be rewarded with views of Dunkery Beacon. A descent to Wootton Courtenay ensues before the last big climb leads us to the ridge which is followed until we descend to enter Dunster and our return to the cars by a different route from the morning.
