Are you unsure which land is designated as 'Open Access' on the Quantock Hills?

Natural England (@naturalengland) have an online mapping service which allows you to zoom in to specific areas.

Great for checking if the requirement for dogs to be kept on leads during the nesting season applies on your walk.

Follow the link in our bio to access the map at the bottom of our Linktree page 👍

A circular walk from Fyne Court to Stream Farm and back, exploring the variety from field, Fyne, and farm, around the highest village on the Quantock Hills. See the hills bursting into life around Broomfield as summer season is upon us. This short route will be loaded with life and local lore.

The walk will be approximately 5.5km (3 miles) on country lanes with some steep ascents so please remember to wear appropriate footwear for walking off road, dress comfortably for the weather on the day and remember to bring your own refreshments, especially a drink if its warm.

It’s a scorcher today! ☀️🥵
So glad we started the day bright and early with a lovely shaded walk at Lydeard Hill listening to the Cuckoo’s 👍🏻🌳🐤

Lydeard Hill is the gateway to the southern hilltops of the Quantock Hills. The views are some of the best in the hills with huge vistas across the Vale of Taunton to the Blackdown Hills and into Devon. From the car park there are many tracks from which you can explore the more open rugged uplands with Lydeard Hill being one of the main starting points for those that want to go to Wills Neck, the highest point in the Quantock Hills at 386m.

There are lots of lovely shaded areas to walk too, under the trees to keep everyone cool in the sunshine 😎🐕🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏻

The Quantock Hills are a beautiful place to be in this lovely sunshine, but please remember that BBQ's and fires are NOT PERMITTED anywhere on the Quantock Hills ❌🔥

Never light a BBQ or fire and always take all of your litter home with you after your visit!

Having a picnic is a great way to enjoy nature and the countryside whilst making some great memories (remember to take plenty to drink and stay hydrated) 🥛🥪 😊

Help us to keep the Quantock Hills safe for everyone including the animals and wildlife who call the hills their home 👍

New Study Finds Pesticides in 100% of UK Garden Birds Tested... 😔🐦

Many of us apply flea and tick treatments to our dogs and cats every month without thinking twice about what’s in them. Sadly, some of these products contain pesticides so toxic they’re banned from agricultural use 😰

New research funded by @songbirdsurvival and published by the @sussexuni has found these chemicals in bird feathers, eggs and chicks. The study detected pesticides in five familiar garden birds including blackbirds, blue tits, chaffinches, dunnocks and goldfinches. Even more concerning, a second study showed the pesticides can pass from fur‑lined nests to young birds, with traces found in dead chicks and unhatched eggs 💔
