Bossington Hill
(route)
Enjoy the views across Porlock Bay. Take the car up North Hill at Minehead and drive to the very end of the road and leave your car in the car park. Head NNE along a roughish track which curves gently round to the NW. Head along a stony track. Those in wheelchairs may consider stopping before the track drops towards Bossington Hill as the stones become quite large and difficult to pass. At Bossington Hill enjoy the breathtaking views in all directions - Exmoor, Bristol Channel, South Wales.

The Old Mineral Line
(route)
A walk from Washford Station to Watchet Station mostly along the route of the West Somerset Mineral Railway which once brought iron ore down from the mines on the Brendon Hills to Watchet harbour and thence the ironworks in South Wales. You can return by steam train on the West Somerset Railway, which parallels much of the route. It is OK for a wheelchair but can be a bit bumpy and muddy in a few places.
