Walks and bookings
Walks and Forks holidays welcome anyone who appreciates being in the countryside, whether or not you have much time to get there! We will enjoy showing you the beauty of the area by taking you to special places by less well known routes. Although a good level of general fitness is required to enjoy the walking you don't need to be super fit as The Quantocks rise to about 300m above sea level and there'll be lots of opportunities to stop and appreciate the countryside you're walking through.
Holidays start in the evening of the start date with a delicious supper in the B&B and they end after breakfast on the last day. Except on the Coleridge Way holidays when the last day ends around tea time. All holidays include accommodation and all meals. Only your preferred drinks with the evening meal are not included in the price.
BELOW ARE EXAMPLES OF THE HOLIDAY BREAKS WE CAN DESIGN FOR YOU. CONTACT US IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE OR DISCUSS ALTERNATIVES.
Prices are per person based on two sharing a room. A few single rooms are available although supplements vary depending on the B&B. Please contact us for further information if you would like a single room. Please see Terms and Conditions before booking your place.

Walking from Parsonage Farm, an exceptionally comfortable 17C farmhouse and organic smallholding with walled garden and apple orchard nestling in a tiny village above Nether Stowey at the foot of the Quantock Hills. An excellent start for walks through the deep coombes and up on to the open moorland to see the quintessential character of the north end of the Quantocks.
