The Quantock Hills are one of the South West’s greatest secrets, offering beautiful panoramic views, ancient woodland and a rocky coastline full of rich geology.
Crowning the hills is a road that has been travelled for millennia by soldiers, travellers and farmers alike.
The Drove.
The Triscombe Stone car park is an ideal place from which to explore these hills. The Bronze Age stone itself is just two feet high but played an important historical role. Taking its name from the Celtic word ‘tris’, meaning meeting, it was a key gathering point on the droving route to Taunton. It is also said that if you sit on the stone, it will grant you a wish, so don’t forget to take a seat.
Heading west from the Triscombe Stone, you will find yourself on a Saxon Army route, or ‘herepath’, known as King Alfred’s Way, marking his route to resist Viking invasion in the 9th century. Also known as The Drove Road, for centuries the route was well-used by local farmers moving cattle and sheep to the market in Taunton.
