In common with most places where there was an iron industry, oak woods survive here. Charcoal burners did not destroy their living. The steep hillsides have lots of flat platforms where the charcoal ovens were situated. The nearer you get to the village the more likely it is that a mapped path exists. Many mapped paths (OS and Bristol Orienteering Klub) further up the hillside have disappeared under brambles.
