• This second route gives a good introduction to the top of the Quantocks.
• Please ensure you check your route before departure.
• Leave Bridgwater on the A39 towards Minehead.
• About 2 km. beyond Nether Stowey, watch for left hand turn into minor road signposted to Crowcombe. (If you reach the Castle of Comfort Inn, you have missed the turning!).
• Proceed up this narrow, bending lane to the top of the Quantocks. At the ‘Y’ junction at the top of the hill (Dead Woman’s Ditch), turn right, continue across the top of the hill, and down towards Crowcombe.
• There is a steep incline (1:4 in places) as you come down from the hill..
• At Crowcombe, turn right, and proceed through village.
