Exploring
Exmoor
Exmoor has lovely scenery, from rolling wooded hills to wild moorland, sweeping down to dramatic cliffs along the beautiful coast.
There are endless opportunities for walking, cycling, riding or exploring by car.
The Blackdown Hills
A short distance to the South, this range of hills provide lots of opportunities for exploring and enjoying the 'great outdoors'.
Quantock Hills
These are designated as an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' .
There are lovely walks in wooded combs or on open moorland, with stunning extensive views across the Estuary to Wales, or inland across Exmoor.
The Somerset Levels
This is a very special area of wetland, including many nature reserves. There are a huge network of footpaths and tracks for walking and cycling.
You have a good chance of seeing or hearing rare birds. Bittern can be heard 'booming' in the Spring. During the winter months there are many chances to see the amazing sight of thousands of Starling coming down to the reeds to roost. Marsh Harrier and Peregrine Falcon are some of the birds of prey often seen on the Somerset levels. Otter have returned to the rivers.
