Walkers are often surprised to find such a variety of scenery that the Quantocks offers in such a small area. From farmland to shady combes and the open heathland of the ridge. Within 3hrs all of these aspects can be explored on foot, whilst there is still plenty of scope for more wide-ranging day long tours.
