Overview

  From Dunster NT CP we take the permitted path to Gallox Bridge, Vinegar Hill, and Nutcombe Bottom. Then down to Clicket and up to Croydon Hill and on to the cross roads at Fire Tower. Over Black Hill to Stapling Lane and back via Aller Hill and Bat's Castle.

There are several steep hills, some stiles and underfoot conditions may be wet and muddy. On a clear day there are lovely views to the coast.  Hopefully, the snowdrops will be in full bloom at Clicket.
