Walking trails

How to get there:

Castle Neroche Car Park is in Castle Neroche which is part of Blackdown Hills. Taunton is the nearest town or village.

From Taunton take the B3170 through Corfe. At the top of the hill turn left at the crossroads and continue along the road for a further 2 miles until you reach the signposted car park. The sign is quite small and can sometimes be set back in the hedge.
