Grabbist Hill

Grabbist Hill (Grid ref: SS983436), a steeply wooded oak hillside with magnificent views over Dunster Castle to the Quantock Hills.

Notable for its rare lichens and mosses. Locally known as Giant's Chair, ST 982 437, as the spot looks just like a giant's chair on the side of the hill, which was maybe used to admire the view up through the Aville Valley. On a good day when the sun shines you can see all the way to Dunkery Beacon and relish the splendour of this glorious countryside. The walk up is quite hard work, but well worth the effort.
