From A39 (Minehead to Porlock)
Turn off the A39 at Red Post about 1/2 mile on the Minehead side of Porlock, following the signs to West Lucombe and Horner. The Car Park is on the left as you come into Horner village .

Thanks to Dave Crowter who informed us that the Number 38 bus from Minehead to Porlock stops fairly nearby in the village of Allerford - about half a mile from the start of this walk.
