Still there in December 2025, unpainted and almost invisible before you hit it. . Very solid and would likely be dangerous if you didn’t know it was there. Grateful to have been warned beforhand- thanks @cordeliahughes

We walked this route in June 2025 and there was so much vegetation near the waterfall and further along the route that we had to improvise the route. Otherwise it is a beautiful route with a lot of variety.

Lords Woods, just south of Woollard is really worth. visit! Beautiful woodland, and it is quite large! It can easily be accessed by hiking from Woollard & surroundings, but I parked up here on the western side. There is a small area for parking, and you can explore the woodland from here. Plenty of paths to get lost in!

I wouldn't go out of your way to come here... But, if you happen to be in / near here on a walk, then you may as well add it on! • Also, this pond is very deep in the woodland. There is a path all around it, and it is very pretty; it's mostly obscured from view (which is great) because this means that you can peek through the foliage and see birds who aren't aware you're there! Of course, they will be as soon as you move on! I have only been once, it was very muddy after & during rain, so I can't advise on other seasons.

Timsbury basin is one of the remnants of the old Somerset Coal Canal. This is where the canal began, flowing from here down to the Kennet and Avon canal near Bath. The canal isn't complete, but you can trace the route starting with these ponds.

Gorgeous Woodland. Really stunning villages nearby, too. The fields in the vicinity can become *very* waterlogged after a lot of rain!!

Massive bump on a private road going downhill. My friend came off and we ended up having to call an ambulance and he has fractured his back. Avoid at all costs, it's v. easy to miss. (we have reported it/ asked a neighbour to paint it!)
