Quantock Country: Sleepy Villages, Beach Woods, Bluebells, Gorse, Bracken...and a Steam Railway

Discover the Quantock Hills, England's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Now a designated National Landscape, this secret coastal corner of Somerset stretches 15 miles from Taunton Deane to the Bristol Channel, offering diverse landscapes from oak woodlands to windswept heaths. Coastal areas boast rugged bays and, at Kilve, discover low cliffs and a beach, a popular haunt for fossil enthusiasts.

Hilltop explorers are rewarded with panoramic views encompassing Exmoor's rugged expanse to the west, Wales' distant shores, and Glastonbury Tor's iconic silhouette. The Quantocks appeal to walkers, wildlife enthusiasts, and stargazers seeking dark, star-filled skies.

Experience the West Somerset Railway, England's longest heritage line, for a steam-powered journey through time. Each season brings unique charm, from spring bluebells to summer heather and autumn hues. Enjoy crisp winter walks followed by cosy evenings around a blazing log fire in your chosen cottage.

Explore the countryside from your Quantocks holiday cottage, and you will discover Iron Age hill forts and Bronze Age round barrows. Countless footpaths meander through the hills, including the renowned Coleridge Way, named after local poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, passing through the villages of Monksilver, Roadwater and Luxborough on its way to Exmoor. Look out for red deer as you explore the ancient oak pollards at Willoughby Cleeve or visit the Highland Cattle near Fyne Court, at the southern end of the Quantocks.

In the sleepy villages dotting the hills, you will find outstanding restaurants where you can enjoy delicious food prepared with fresh ingredients from the area's farms. Clavelshay Barn in North Petherton and Combe House in Holford are excellent options for an evening meal, while the Blue Ball Inn in Triscombe and the Hood Arms are lovely pubs, serving good food and Somerset ciders.
