This detached characterful stone cottage, sits in 4.5 acres and is 1.5 miles away from Nether Stowey. A great destination for outdoor adventures, the Quantock Hills National Landscape is on your doorstep offering miles of rambles and stunning scenery. Postcard-pretty villages and heritage attractions punctuate this protected area, with must-see sites including fossil-hunting on Kilve Beach (4 miles), Fyne Court (8 miles) and Dunster with its castle (14.5 miles). The vibrant village of Nether Stowey has welcoming pubs and shops and was once home to poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, whose cottage is now a National Trust property. The village is also starting point for the 51-mile Coleridge Way and has a Norman castle mount from which you can enjoy far-reaching views to the Brecon Beacons, the Mendips, Glastonbury Tor and the North Somerset coast. Or, catch a train to the seaside town of Minehead from Bishops Lydeard (9.5 miles) on the historic West Somerset steam railway.
