Damson Cottage is ideally situated to explore the Quantocks, many other beautiful locations and local attractions.

​

Nether Stowey is an interesting and attractive village and has many surviving mediaeval buildings. Castle Street, where the cottage is located, leads up to the remains of Stowey Castle, where sheep now safely graze. From here you have views over the Quantocks to the Mendips, to the sea and over to Wales.

The poet Coleridge lived and wrote in the village and his house is open to the public (NT). The designated Coleridge Way starts in Nether Stowey, where Coleridge lived for three years, goes through quiet and unspoilt northern fringes of the Quantock Hills all the way to the lovely villages of Horner and Porlock and then across Countisbury to the picturesque coast village Lynmouth.
