Mist over Lydeard Hill on the Quantocks @rogerdodger71 - did you know that the Quantocks were the first area to be declared an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1956 ? From the top of the hills on a clear day, it is possible to see Glastonbury Tor and the Mendips to the east, Wales as far as the Gower Peninsula to the north, the Brendon Hills and Exmoor to the west, and the Blackdown Hills to the south..
