The Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty lies in North Somerset and is a fantastic place for adventures, with ancient woodland, old drovers’ trails and glorious views. Wills Neck is its highest point, rising to 1,261 feet (384 m) in the south west of the group. Even though there are plenty of Quantocks to the north of the summit, its height gives you vast panoramas in every direction.

This is the highest point in the Quantocks with a summit at 1,266 feet (386 m). Wills Neck is also one of the highest points in Somerset. Surrounded by open heathland, you'll find a trig point near the summit and fantastic views to the south, west and east. The patchwork countryside unfolds before you and on a clear day you can see across to Dartmoor, Exmoor and the Mendips.
