Discover our Countryside
Feel like running wild? South Somerset is a place where you can explore
nature and watch wildlife
The rights of way network extends over 1,100
miles of paths and tracks making it the ideal escape
for ramblers and walkers. The diverse landscape
includes wooded hills and lush valleys and the
fascinating Somerset Levels and Moors - one of
the lowest and flattest places in the UK and an
important habitat.
You can see buzzards and kingfishers, otters and
water voles. Swell Wood has the largest grey
heron colony in the west country. On the Levels in
winter, huge numbers of starlings perform amazing
acrobatics in the evening before they roost and all
year round you can listen for the trumpeting call
of the majestic crane, reintroduced to Somerset
after 400 years.
If you like to enjoy the outdoor life at a gentle
pace, visit the Green Flag Country Parks. Yeovil
offers a green breathing space close to the
bustling heart of the town. Ham Hill is an ancient
hill-fort with great views and perfect to picnic.
The parks are well signposted and offer good
access with car parking and all-ability footpaths.
At Chard reservoir nature reserve there is a fullyaccessible bird hide with a board listing the latest
sightings - grebes, kingfishers and little egrets are
