Join our Quantock Hills July Short Route Photo Walk, a circular walk, from Fyne Court on a roaming journey to the enigmatic Ruborough Camp – watch out for the spectacular views and enchanting folklore of this special location.

On our Quantock Hills Photo Walks it doesn’t matter if you don’t have a fancy camera or technical expertise, it’s about appreciating your surroundings and finding somewhere in nature that you can immerse yourself. The camera is a fantastic tool to encourage you to slow down and focus your attention, it’s a mindfulness exercise and can be a very relaxing process.
