Quantock Hills. An Area of Outstanding Beauty

Local legend has it that, when you are on the Quantocks, you are never more than 1.7 miles away from a pub and the same applies to good hostelleries and food outlets. The Quantocks enjoy a wide range of locally sourced food and drink, from hill farm meat to hand made chocolates and cheeses, from apple juice to scrumpy. Below are a few links to get you started and a list of the local farmers markets where most items can be bought:

FARMERS MARKETS: Bridgwater: 2nd Friday every month 9:00 am to 2:00 pm.  Cotford St Luke: First Saturday of the month, every month @ the village hall. Open from 9:00 - 1:00. Taunton: Every Thursday 9am-3pm.   Minehead: Every Friday from 0830 to 1400 in the centre of town.
