Quantock Country: Sleepy Villages, Beach Woods, Bluebells, Gorse, Bracken...and a Steam Railway
Oak woods, parkland, heath and fields are all on the doorstep of Quantock holiday cottages. This glorious range of hills lies west of Bridgewater in the county of Somerset. The Quantocks run for roughly 15 miles, from the Vale of Taunton Deane in the south to Kilve and West Quantoxhead on the Bristol Channel coast. The hills are England's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, designated in 1956, and are a paradise for walking, wildlife-watching or enjoying peace and solitude in an unspoiled corner of the Southwest. Dramatic rocky bays and towering clifftops dominate the coast, which is popular among fossil hunters, while inland, the hills are blanketed in heather, gorse and bracken. Hike to the hilltops on a clear day, and you can see all the way to Exmoor to the west, Wales to the north and Glastonbury Tor and the Mendips to the east.
