LOCAL ATTRACTIONS

Exmoor National Park

Exmoor National Park was created in 1954. It has stunning landscapes and is one of Britain’s hidden treasures. The Red deer and Exmoor ponies are just a couple of the things that make Exmoor special.

There is so much to do one visit will not be enough. There is plenty available for the keen walker, and for the less adventurous guided walks available, see guided walks.

West Somerset Steam Railway

We are an excellent choice for the Steam Railway enthusiast as we are close to the West Somerset Steam Railway. The West Somerset Railway seeks to recreate the atmosphere of a Great Western Railway branch line. There are ten restored stations along the route, many have signal boxes, engine sheds, museums, displays, steam engines and other rolling stock to see.

The Quantocks

The Quantocks offer excellent walking with a network of rights of way, which can be found marked on Ordinance Survey Map Explorer 140.

At certain times of the year the Rangers also organise guided walks. More information on the Quantocks can be found at www.quantockhills.com

Dunster

Dunster is one of England’s most scenic villages. A wealth of history can be found in one small village. Affluent merchant’s houses in the High Street, contrast with mediaeval woolen workers’ homes in West Street, still for the most part unchanged, and the even earlier Iron Age remains of bat’s castle can be found near the deer park.
