Bed and Breakfast at Hartwood
House. Ideally situated between Taunton, Exmoor and the sea. The Quantock Hills
are still an undiscovered peaceful part of Somerset. Our B and B is warmly

house. Special mention is also made of our delicious breakfasts and the tea and
home made cakes each afternoon.

Crowcombe Heathfield Station
The Quantocks
relatively unknown area of Somerset,
designated
the first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1957,
has much to recommend it. The Quantock Hills offer
moor, woodland, farmland and winding streams, hill
and dale, ideal for walking, cycling, riding and
bird watching.
The coast offers sandy beaches at
Minehead and strata rocks for fossil hunting at Doniford.
There are numerous lovely gardens to visit from Hestercombe
to Greencombe as well as many private gardens detailed
in the Yellow Book.
Convenient for the wedding venues of St Audries, Crowcombe Court and
Bagborough House.

away. This is the longest steam railway
in the country run by volunteers. It
travels from Bishops Lydeard through beautiful countryside and along the coast
to Minehead.

The county market town of Taunton
is ten miles away with the County
Cricket ground, a great
Antique Market on Mondays (Rosemary loves it, David says its just more
stuff!) and shops to fulfil most
requirements. Somerset has villages to rival the Cotswolds
and without the crowds. Enjoy cream teas
with proper clotted cream. Travel a
little further to the west to Exmoor, go north west to Dunster and Porlock. Which ever way you choose to travel there are
gems to visit but
there is no need to go
far as there is so much to enjoy close by.
