About Cothelstone Hill
Cothelstone Hill is a special place. It is rich in wildlife and archaeological features, and has unsurpassed 360-degree views. The hill is managed under a Higher Level Stewardship Scheme, which means that its quality as a heritage landscape is recognised nationally.
The hill is part of the Somerset County Council estate leased to the South West Heritage Trust, which is an independent charity committed to protecting and celebrating Somerset and Devon’s rich heritage.
The Quantock Hills AONB Service manages Cothelstone Hill on behalf of the South West Heritage Trust. The AONB Service ensures that the hill’s rich biodiversity, valuable habitats, heritage and archaeology are protected and enhanced.
