Feather Down - Glastonbury Hill Park

Which Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty first? Choices, choices… take your pick from the Blackdown Hills, Mendip Hills and Quantock Hills, all of which are within a drive of half an hour or so and packed with lovely trails to follow on foot or by bike. The natural landscape has a lot to offer around here, in fact – you may also like to try outings to the likes of Wookey Hole caves and Cheddar Gorge (both 40 minutes) for some spectacular views formed by geology. On the manmade wonders front, take a look at the lovely cathedral in Wells (40 minutes) or the machines on display at Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm Museum (20 minutes) and Haynes Motor Museum (25 minutes). And of course there’s fabulous Glastonbury (half an hour), to see the abbey, find King Arthur’s burial site and browse some truly individual shops before climbing the famed Glastonbury Tor.
