This church dates back to the 12th century, although several of its parts are from later years, such as the tower (1500) or the North aisle and Trevelyan chapel (1540). Like many other churches, it underwent various restorations in the 19th century. The building you see to its left also holds historical significance; it is the Nettlecombe Court.

Lovely view of beautiful village, nestled into pleasant hills.

After the gate track right and stay near top of Combe. The bridleway takes you to the woods and a gate the rest is obvious. Look out for foxes

Deepleigh and Sandy Lanes are earthen byways that cross the hill immediately north of Wiveliscombe in Somerset. From their junction, you can admire the rolling pastures on every side, often dotted with sheep. Peaceful and quintessentially Somerset, this pretty crossroads is used by the West Deane Way long-distance circular trail.

Brompton Ralph's church was likely built in the early 15th century although much of what you see today originates in the 18th. The church bell and the south tower arch both date back to the 1400s while the south aisle window is 16th century. Like many rural village churches, exploring St. Mary's in Brompton Ralph is a little like walking back in time.

With my phone low on juice and no caffeine in the tank, I stopped by to make hopeful enquiries. Judi (and her dog Jessie!) were very hospitable, and couldn’t do enough to be friendly and accommodating. It’s a lovely location and property, and although I’ve not stayed overnight, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hall Farm B&B.

This sweet little village sits with the Quantock Hills AONB to the east and the Brendon Hills and Exmoor National Park to the west. Stogumber is small and historic with thatched cottages, a 13th-century church and a tranquil cemetery. The White Horse Inn is a popular pub in the village and a great place to pause for a hot lunch if you're hiking in the area. The Samaritans Way South West long-distance footpath travels through the village. It seems that every English village is hiding some extraordinary history and Stogumber is no different: Sir Francis Drake was married here, to Elizabeth Sydenham.

All Saints is a pretty parish church in the heart of Monksilver village. The church was built in the 12th century and the tower was added in the 14th century. Inside, you can observe a fine Jacobean pulpit with a lectern, bench ends from the 16th century, and a 15th-century font. All Saints is Grade I-listed.
