The region

The Brendon Hills are a beautiful, unspoilt ridge of high farmland on the eastern fringe of Exmoor National Park, offering far-reaching views and deep rural tranquillity.

This is a landscape of scattered farms, ancient hedgerows, and quiet lanes, stretching between the open moor of Exmoor to the west and the gentler Quantock Hills to the east. The area has a rich industrial heritage -- iron ore was mined here from the 1850s to the 1880s, and the remains of the West Somerset Mineral Railway can still be traced across the hillside. Today, the Brendon Hills are a haven for walkers, cyclists, and anyone seeking genuine peace and seclusion in the heart of the West Somerset countryside.

Local Amenities

The Brendon Hills are deeply rural, so it is worth stocking up before you arrive. The nearest village with everyday facilities is Wheddon Cross, approximately 3 to 5 miles from most properties.
