An enjoyable circular trail of approximately 1.25 miles / 2km through Bearland / Chargot Woods where you can appreciate the challenges the engineers and miners faced in this undulating landscape with superb valley views. Along the route you can view the entrance to two Adits (horizontal mine shafts) that form part of the heritage iron-ore mining industry and community that existed on the Brendon Hills 150 years ago. A very pleasant walk with the local history explained on well presented information boards maintained by the West Somerset Mineral Line Association.
