Describes the scenery, wildlife, villages and people which combine to make the Quantock Hills one of the unspoilt gems of the English countryside. Each chapter in this book looks at a different aspect of the region: its geology and landscape; its history from the Bronze Age to the present day; it collection of birds, diverse plants and animals, including the wild red deer; the villages; connections with writers and poets; and the working landscape, which links with the adjoining Brendon Hills. The six televised walks are described with details of parking places, veiwpoints and sketch maps.
