Nynehead Hollow is a super cool landmark on the outskirts of Nynehead Village. The road has literally been roughly carved through solid rock, with high walls and trees growing above.

From this vantage point near Cothelstone Hill, you can enjoy tremendous views across the beautiful Quantocks. Not only is it a wonderful viewpoint, but the area is steeped in archaeological history. It is the site of a Bronze Age barrow, and home to the ruins of a folly and a post-medieval tree-ring enclosure.

Lydeard Hill is the perfect spot to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Quantocks. From this hilltop vantage point, you can enjoy wonderful views of the rolling hills and lush farmland that sweeps this area.

Nynehead Hollow is a scenic lane forming part of NCN 3. It's an impressive road that has been roughly carved through solid rock, with high walls and trees growing above. The “Hollow” was said to be dug out by the Sandford family in the hope of making Nynehead Court quicker to get to from the servant houses which were situated in East Nynehead.

Very close to the path, we can enjoy this beautiful waterfall from water that originates in the hills above Comberow and eventually flows into the Washford River.

Reputedly "the oldest living thing in England mature when Stonehenge was in use" so says the plaque.

the Church of St. John the Baptist lies in the small Somerset village of Ashbrittle and dates back to the 15th century. If you think the church is old though, it's only an infant compared to the yew tree in its churchyard. Named the Ashbrittle Yew, this extraordinary tree is thought to be over 3000 years old. With a girth of around 40 feet (12 m), multiple subsidiary trunks and huge canopy, this tree is absolutely worth seeking out. Understandably, it's not very hard to find.
