13. This family are having an afternoon out walking on the Quantock Hills. They like to have some exercise and fresh air, see the view, and enjoy the peace and quiet. In this photo they are showing the baby some wild ponies! 40,000 people visit the Quantock Hills every year, and many of them enjoy walking and picnicing. That’s a lot of people!
14. Mountain biking and horse-riding are popular sports on the Quantock Hills. People enjoy the space and the freedom to cycle fast, away from roads and traffic. Sometimes they cycle fast up stream-beds, footpaths, and even over the open moors.
15. These people are going to have a picnic on the grass near their car. They have come for an afternoon drive from the town of Bridgwater. They enjoy being in the countryside.
16. Because there is a lot of space in the Quantocks, people like to drive over the hills. Motorbike scrambling is another popular sport on the hills. People enjoy riding up steep slopes in the mud, away from roads and traffic
17. The horse-riders are farmers, who are herding their sheep on the hills. The sheep stay out on the hills most of the year because there is a lot of good pasture for them up here, and a lot of space for them to graze. Other local people, called “commoners”, also have rights to graze their animals on the hills.
18. These trees have been felled by foresters. Forestry is one of the industries of the Quantock Hills. The foresters plant trees on the slopes of the hills, and fell them when they are old, to sell for their timber.
19. These people live in one of the villages in the Quantock Hills. They chose to live here because it is quiet and very beautiful.
20. Most of these are new houses. A lot of people like to live in the villages on the edges of the Quantock Hills, and a lot of new building is taking place all over this area. At Cotford St Luke there is even a new school!
21. You can see wild deer almost anywhere on the Quantock Hills, if you keep really quiet and still. And there are also badgers, squirrels, lots of birds, butterflies and insects.
