Heading west from Fyne Court, we’ll climb to the top of Cothelstone Hill for a short break and panoramic views. From there, it’s not much further to Wills Neck, the highest point in the Quantocks and shortly before our lunch stop. Making our return eastwards along woodland paths, we’ll climb Broomfield Hill before heading back to the cars. This walk will be exposed in places so please consider sunscreen, hats and/or waterproofs.
There’s a cafe available at Fyne Court, depending on what time we finish. Otherwise, there’s a pub a short drive up the road. Please text me if you intend to meet us at Fyne Court.

How do I join the walk?
Unless stated on the walk page, there is no need to sign up to join a walk. You’re very welcome to try out 1 or 2 walks before you join, but we do insist that after that you join the Brunel Walking Group.
On many walks you can just turn up at the meeting point where we will share lifts to the start of the walk. It’s OK if you don’t drive – we normally have enough drivers who are able to give lifts. Some walks you will need to make your way to walk start or you can post on our facebook group to ask if you can share a lift there.
If sharing lifts passengers are expected to contribute towards petrol costs. Please bring coins or be prepared to make a bank transfer. As a guide, 30p/mile shared by everyone in the car.
How do I know what to bring? And am I fit enough?
We provide a full recommended kit list here. Please do bring water, a rainproof jacket, walking trousers (or similar) and walking shoes/boots – avoid jeans and trainers.
Walks are graded as either 1 boot, 2 boot or 3 boot. Read more about choosing the right walk for your fitness level here,
