hidden historic arcadian parkland which can be explored through a number of guided trails. During the spring and summer the grounds are alive with bees and butterflies, especially in the walled garden. The wider woodland is alive with birds, such as woodpeckers and tree creepers. If you are looking for family fun there are plenty of areas to build a den, trails to explore or trees to climb.

Fyne Court is a hidden gem in the heart of the Quantock Hills. You can explore this wild garden and discover pieces of its history hiding in the undergrowth. The estate was the home of the Crosse family who lived here until the house was destroyed by fire in 1894. Andrew Crosse, Fyne Court's most famous resident, was known as 'The Thunder and Lightning Man' by the local community due to his extensive scientific experiments which he conducted in the estate.
