Kilve
The village of Kilve is situated within the Quantock area. The main part of the village is situated along the A39 with Bridgwater to the east and Minehead to the west. This part of the village also contains a village hall, a post office and a public house.
The village links with two nearby hamlets. One of these is Pardlestone, which meanders steeply southwards through mossy cottages and a few more modern bungalows nestle into the hillside. Together with Higher Hill which lies along the ridge to the east of the village with a steep and narrow lane running down to join Sea Lane.
Kilve Beach is an important visitor attraction. It is renowned for its easily obtained fossils and the spectacular exposed rock strata. Its location at the northern end of the Quantock Hills and the fact that it is also close to the Exmoor National Park on the southern coast of the Bristol Channel mean that the area attracts many visitors.
