Our verdict
The highest of the Quantocks, with combes that feel a world away from the motorway you just left. Red deer if you're lucky, big views always.
At 384m the highest Quantock, a heathy ridge dropping into deep oak-wooded combes. Skylarks over the tops in summer, views to Exmoor, the Mendips and the sea.
Open access common in England's first AONB. Roam freely on foot; livestock graze, so dogs under control.
