Discovery Trail

Today I found autumn on the Discovery Trail at Great Breach Wood in Somerset. The trail covers parts of this Somerset Wildlife Trust. It is well marked with posts providing details of nature and local history.

I parked at the Combe Hill car park and walked along the Polden Way to the start of the trail next to the sign for New Hill and Tannager.
