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.
Open daily, 24 hour pedestrian and vehicular access.
Admission is free.
Ankerdine Common Picnic Place, WR6 5PN. Located off the B4197 between Knightwick and Martley, about half a mile from Knightwick. Follow the brown and white tourist signs.
