Part of the walk is along the long distance Macmillan Way West passing the iron age settlements of Bat's Castle and Gallox Hill (sometimes called Black Ball Camp) where svarthakad buskskvätta are common. Amongst wooded areas look for större hackspett, blåmes, talgoxe, stjärtmes, bofink and kattuggla.

On entering Dunster look for Dunster Steep Car Park (150 spaces Fee Payable) on Left. For smaller car park continue on A396 through Dunster, after sharp Right Turn continue and take third Left into Park Street, the car park (19 spaces Fee Payable) is down this road on the Left.
BE AWARE Dunster can become VERY BUSY during the Summer Months especially at weekends, the castle is a popular visitor attraction and car parks can get full. A visit outside of these times or EARLY MORNING is best. As you can see by map there are numerous other paths and shortcuts available.
