The beach of Kilve lies about halfway between Minehead and Bridgwater in the heart of the Quantocks. The shoreline is mostly rocky with plenty of rockpools to explore towards low tide. One of the best features of Kilve beach is the large grassy area behind the beach which is ideal for picnics.

IT stands as the only remaining memorial to a scheme that just a century ago would, it was claimed, turn the Quantock coast into the country’s oil capital with a production of five million gallons a year and bring unprecedented wealth to West Somerset. Today, visitors passing on their way to Kilve beach see only a brick box with a rusty chimney on its top. That’s if they notice it at all.

Look out for the incredible rock formations along the beach.

Bin Combe is a beautiful little forest located on the eastern edge of the magnificent Quantock Hills. The forest is made up of oak and birch and homes a variety of different wildlife species, including a rare orange and brown butterfly that visits between May and September.

Over Stowey is a charming village nestled in the picturesque county of Somerset. With its quaint thatched cottages, beautiful old church, and proximity to the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Over Stowey is a lovely place to stop by on a country walk.

In the early 1900s, it was thought that the Kimmeridge shale at Kilve could be a commercial source of oil. It was explored, but never lucrative enough to really work. This old brick structure would have been used to prospect the site.
