Mountain Biking- The Quantock Hills have endless tracks to cycle around but they are not for the faint hearted, be prepared for mud and steep climbs.

Horse riding- There are a number of riding schools in the local area if you do not have your own horse. From the property there are several bridlepaths to choose from and a short drive away you can get out onto the Quantock Hills, Exmoor, Pontispool Equestrian Centre, or the beach at Blue Anchor. 

Sea swimming- The property is within a half hour drive from the beaches at Blue Anchor and Dunster. Further afield Woolacombe and Porlock are worth going to.

Walking- The property is based on a footpath, which branches out in 4 different directions. Ample choice for either a short or longer distance walk just outside your front door.

Hiking- The property is based at the foot of the Quantock Hills (AONB) and is well worth a visit. Whether you want a short gentle stroll surrounded by stunning scenery or a more challenging adventure, there are endless routes to choose from. Exmoor is not far away and is easy to get to but to make it count a day trip would be your best option.

Beaches-The property is within a half hour drive from the beaches at Blue Anchor and Dunster. Further afield Woolacombe and Porlock are worth going to, all of which are dog friendly.
