Wych Lodge river backed by trees

Wych Lodge boasts some of Somerset’s most stunning ancient oak trees, soothing lakeside views, and an extensive network of woodland tracks for you to explore. Cyclists and horse riders are welcome to roam the forest roads and public rights of way.

Walking path in autumnal forest

Explore this local hidden gem that lies within the Quantock Hills National Landscape, south west of Bridgwater. 

The old oaks and sweet chestnuts create a mosaic of woodland, providing a stunning backdrop for a casual stroll, horse ride or cycle. With paths, streams, hills and views, it can often feel like you have the whole area to yourself.

Don't forget to bring your wellies, as it can get very muddy after rain.
