From M5 Jct 23, follow A39 towards Wells. After passing through Ashcott, take the 2nd turning right (by the Piper's Inn) on an un classified road towards Somerton. (NB 1st turn is the A361 towards Taunton). Follow this up the hill and when the road starts going back down again look out for the Youth Hostel on the right.

• Hours:Late morning/early afternoon (can't comment on evening or dusk seeing as I've never gone there at that time).
• Cruising Info/ Tips:Park up and wander into the woods - interested parties will follow you whichever direction you choose to go.
• Nudity / Policy:Discretion required as there are walkers, mountain bikers and the occasional National Trust/Forestry wardens walking though.
• Wheelchair Accessible:No / Parking area is rough ground and the footpaths through the woodland especially those going downwards aren't recommended for handicapped persons.
• Warnings:Discretion required seeing as the YHA is opposite and there are legit dog walkers and HGV drivers occasionally using the facility for their legal breaks.
