Self-Catering Holidays in The Quantocks
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.
