👍 Great area for taking the kids on a mini adventure. Great wood is down a long track with a large parking area. In the middle of a large forks which has areas for BBQs there is plenty of space to have a relaxed picnic. When we visited it was really busy.. Hundreds of people on the picnic area. Howeve... People often mention walk,

    Great area for taking the kids on a mini adventure. Great wood is down a long track with a large parking area. In the middle of a large forks which has areas for BBQs there is plenty of space to have a relaxed picnic. When we visited it was really busy.. Hundreds of people on the picnic area. However if you go on the circular walk which offers a really nice for through the woods it was really quiet. The parking is pay and display but there seems to only be a machine at the entrance... Is possible to park almost a mile away.. so you have to walk back durn to get a ticket. When we were there no one seemed to be paying... But that's at your risk. There is a toilet block which was surprisingly clean.

    Free parking and lots of cool woodland walks out of the sun. Beautiful place. Horses are too friendly and should be respected.

    Lovely place walked the 2.5 mile red route very peaceful loads of places for my dog to explore and streams to paddle in. Would love to come back and explore some of the other trails. Saw a deer frightened the life out of me when it jumped up and ran from near the path deeper into the woods. Careful about visiting the little cafe in your way out though as you may take on all the calories you just lost walking, lovely little place.

    Had an amazing walk. Martha the lab loves water so she was in her element . Glad we chose to walk the way we did getting the hilly parts out of the way. There is also a nice picnic area.

    Beautiful place to walk and lovely place to be for a game of rounders or something, with a picnic. Cakes at the cafe are nice but the coffee is very expensive for a doll's size cup, which is about 4 mouthfuls but costs the same as a full size cup anywhere else.. Shame really as I drink coffee out a lot and wouldn't buy from here again

    Ramscombe is a great place to go for a walk. You can walk around the forest trail or access the trails on the quantock hills.
