Quantock Hills, Upland and Upland Fringe
Author(s): Jeremy Lake
The Quantock Hills curve inland from the Bristol Channel and have a dramatic ridge land form with varied landcover including upland plateau, wooded valleys and rolling fields. Almost all of the Character Area (96%) lies within the Quantock Hills AONB, England’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, being designated in 1956. Around 30% is designated as Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). None of the Character Area is classed as urban, reflecting its rural character.
