Quantock Hills. An Area of Outstanding Beauty

This calendar includes many beautiful pictures from the 2008 Hedge Group Competition, a perfect christmas present for anyone who enjoys the Somerset countryside!  Since 2005 via Sustainable Development Funding, the AONB has played a large part in restoring Beech Hedge Banks in various locations on the Quantocks.  You may have noticed this key landscape feature which now lines the road leading up to Crowcombe Park Gate.  These beech hedges are important as they provide wildlife corridors that are vital for many local species such as bats and dormice, as well as encouraging other local native species of plants and wildlife to thrive.
