This walk takes you through Kilve and East Quantoxhead on the borders of the Quantock Hills with lots of geological interest, local history and fantastic views. The walk takes in the churches at Kilve and East Quantoxhead and the ruins of an old chantry in Kilve.

This dates to 1329 and has been used for prayer and as a home for farm animals and a store for smugglers! The coast here is in the Lilstock to Blue Anchor Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI); the same Jurassic Blue Lias rock that runs under West Dorset re-emerges on Somerset’s coast and the limestone deposits here are rich in fossils.
