Ankerdine Common
There's something very magical about
this site that is hard to put your finger on. It could be to do
with the spectacular views across the Teme Valley from the high
vantage point. Regular sightings of Buzzards gliding on thermals
may help. Following the steep paths as they twist and turn through
the mossy woods certainly sets the imagination
alight.
Opening Times
Open daily, 24 hour pedestrian and
vehicular access.
Admission is free.
Site Location

The track to the parking area is steep
and narrow, as are many of the footpaths, so take care.
