Challacombe Medieval Hamlet

Highlight • Historical Site

It's worth a brief stroll around these ancient ruins. While perhaps less impressive than nearby Grimspound, they are less well-known and, therefore, less busy.

Soussons Forest

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

A trail running through Soussons Warren. It runs along the treeline before ducking into the forest. Considering its location, it's pretty well preserved for most of the year.
