There are plenty of walks in the stunning Blackdown Hills AONB including around neighbouring villages to Stockland and those slightly further away.

From Quantock, you can do a lovely walk across open fields to go to Stockland village and then back up the lane to the property. A great Sunday walk, especially if you stop for a delicious roast in the village pub, The King’s Arms. The walk is approximately 4miles and would take just under 2 hours (without a stop at the pub).

Or visit the nearby village of Dalwood to do a circular walk which takes in the wonderful views of the valley, and at one point a view of Lyme Bay. More info.

If you are a keen walker and looking for something a bit more challenging, then have a look at the Stockland circular walk. Based on being used by horse riders, it is also a great 12-mile route for walkers. More info.

If you are looking for trail which is suitable for everyone, then try the Staple Hill. This is slightly further away from Quantock but has no steep gradients and has wide paths, perfect for wheelchairs and pushchairs. More info.

Another shorter circular walk is Otterhead Lakes, a beautiful nature reserve on the site of a former Victorian estate. More info.
