The Quantock Hills are home to many gorgeous villages and Holford is a perfect example. Inhabited since the Iron Age, the village feels like is hasn't changed in hundreds of years. Thatched cottages, a huge water wheel and a beautiful church all conspire to make Holford postcard-perfect.

On the outskirts of the village is Alfoxton hotel (no longer a hotel) where Wordsworth lived temporarily. The Plough Inn, at the northern end of the village, is ideal for lunch.
