The wild and tranquil Quantock Hills were England’s first AONB, set up in 1956. Just west of Bridgwater, they run from the Somerset Levels to the Bristol Channel… and a fossil hunters’ paradise, to say nothing of the rockpools. Red deer and Quantock ponies roam the heathland, valleys and woods where the Great Wood is watched over by Lydeard Hill, Staple Plain and Beacon Hill.
No towns in the Quantocks, just charming villages like Triscombe, Holford and Kingston St Mary, where the church dates from the 13th century. Fabulous walks include the Coleridge Way, named after the poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who lived and wrote at Nether Stowey. Visit his home.
There’s also the West Somerset Path and a fascinating stroll along the Jurassic coastline from Kilve to East Quantoxhead.
