This is a short walk along a wide packed gravel road through the Woodlands (a heritage landscape) of Chargot Woods and down a short, but relatively steep loose-stone path to see great views of the Somerset hills and see the restored Bearland Wood Ventilation Flue that forms part of the heritage iron-mining industry and community that existed on the Brendon Hills 150 years ago. A pleasant walk with the local history explained on well presented information boards maintained by the West Somerset Mineral Line Association.
