Best Dog Walks in the Quantock Hills (Quiet, Beautiful & Worth Finding)
The Quantock Hills are one of those places that feel like a bit of a secret.
Less crowded than many national parks, but just as beautiful — and for dog owners, that’s a very good thing.
🌿 Why the Quantocks are ideal for dogs
What makes the Quantocks special isn’t just the scenery.
It’s the space.
You’ll find:
open heathland
wooded valleys
quiet tracks
long views across to the sea
And often, far fewer people than you’d expect.
🐾 Walks to look out for
Without turning this into a guidebook, a few favourites include:
ridge walks with panoramic sea views
shaded woodland routes on warmer days
longer circular walks for dogs who need a proper stretch
🌊 And when you want something different
You’re also within reach of the coast.
Which means:
beach walks
sea air
a change of scenery
Always a good option when you want to mix things up.
🍺 The important bit: pubs
No walk is complete without a good pub at the end.
And thankfully, there are a few nearby that are:
welcoming
relaxed
and very used to dogs
💛 Final thought
Some places are about ticking off routes.
The Quantocks aren’t really like that.
They’re better when you:
wander
explore
and take your time
