A public bridleway along the edge of the Blackborough ridge with good views of the lower Culm valley and abundant rhododendron blooms in season. There is a small level car park for use by visitors. A bridleway gate gives access to the wood, but the latch is designed for horse riders and a lone wheelchair user may find it tricky to operate. The gate, when fully open provides an opening of 1.2m, but a raised bank on one side narrows the flat path width to 1m at this point when the gate is open. The path is well surfaced and drained and mainly less than 1 in 20, but in places there is a slight cross-path slope for drainage and occasionally there is an accumulation of larger stones and leaves, which may cause a little inconvenience to wheelchair users. There is a short section of 1 in 10, but this is quite far down the route. There are no obstacles or barriers along the route itself, but there is a quad bike barrier at the far end and there are no seats. Phototrail funded by the Blackdown Hills AONB Sustainable Development Fund and the Woodland Trust.
