Wills Neck is the highest summit on the Quantock Hills and one of the highest points in Somerset, England. Although only 1261 ft (384 m) high, it qualifies as one of England's Marilyns. It is situated about 8 miles (13 km) north west of the historic market town of Taunton. The name 'Wills Neck' is derived from the Saxon word for 'stranger' or 'foreigner'. It relates to a local tribe the Wealas which according to legend fought the Romans at the site. On a clear day it is possible to see Dartmoor, Exmoor, the Brecon Beacons, the Mendips and Blackdown Hills. It is sometimes even possible to see Pilsdon Pen, the second highest point in Dorset, the highest, Lewesdon Hill, is also visible. The hill is formed from Hangman Grits laid down during the Devonian a geologic period of the Paleozoic Era spanning from the end of the Silurian Period, about 419.62 Mya (million years ago), to the beginning of the Carboniferous Period. Wills Neck was surveyed by schoolboys from Clifton College from 1922 and 1945, led by teacher William Cornish Badcock. They built a cairn at the highest point which has now been replaced, on exactly the same spot, by a modern Trig point. A beer brewed by the Quantock Brewery has been named Wills Neck after the hill.

Crowcombe Court in Crowcombe, Somerset, England is a large country house dating from 1724 to 1739. It is Grade I listed. It was built, in English regional baroque style, by Thomas Parker, for Thomas Carew, and finished by Nathaniel Ireson of Wincanton, after Carew found that Parker had taken old coins, found while demolishing the old house. Minor alterations were carried out by Edward Middleton Barry around 1870. The house has terracotta coloured bricks complemented by Bath stone pilasters and frontispiece. The interior includes plasterwork by Grinling Gibbons. The house was described by Nikolaus Pevsner as "the finest house of its date in Somerset south of the Bath area".

Adscombe Chapel is the remains of a medieval chapel, located 280 metres (920 ft) east of Adscombe Farm in Somerset, UK, situated on the north-west facing slope of a prominent ridge. This 13th Century chapel of the Virgin Mary was built at Adscombe by the monks of Athelney Abbey. In 1535 Johan Broke of Over Stowey bequeathed one sheep to 'Our Lady of Addescombe' — this is the earliest official record of this chapel. A high, gable-end wall to roof height, with a high window with a door beneath, were still standing in 1903, however now only small sections remain. Enough remains to show it was a single roomed building of 16 metres (52 ft) by 7 metres (23 ft). The surviving walls, which are up to 0.6 metres (2 ft) thick, remain standing up to a height of 1.3 metres (4 ft). Within the limited remains there is door mouldings and sections of window. The chapel is on a terraced area of approximately 25 metres (82 ft) by 15 metres (49 ft). The Chapel was built of local Devonian sandstone and the bases of substantial buttresses can be seen at the west end. The west window was framed in a simple carved stone surround. The chapel probably dates from the middle of the 13th century or the beginning of the 14th century. Adscombe currently is a small hamlet with an old farmhouse and a few 'cottages' along the lane opposite the chapel. Adscombe is located roughly 135 miles (217 km) west of London, and 45 miles (72 km) south-west of Bristol. The chapel's location is typical of many settlements in the Quantock Hills, at the foot of a combe and bordering former common land. The Quantock Hills are one of a few remaining expanses of open moorland in southern Britain. This area has archeological importance due to many monuments highlighting the exploitation of the land in the Bronze Age and Iron Age, including round barrows, cairns, settlements and hillforts. Adscombe was a settlement in the medieval period; in 1327 four people from Adscombe were wealthy enough to be assessed for tax and in 1547 it had two houses and a ruined tenement. To the east of the chapel is a large earthwork platform the site of a substantial building. In the medieval period, it was probably the manor house of Over Stowey and Fryon (now known as Friarn). The house was called 'Chapel House' and was the home of the Rich family in the 17th century. By the 19th century, it was known as 'Chapples House and Barton' and the chapel was used as a barn. Recent conservation works to the monument have been funded through DEFRA's Countryside Stewardship Scheme.

Plainsfield Camp (or Park Plantation or Cockercombe Castle) is a possible Iron Age earthwork on the Quantock Hills near Aisholt in Somerset, England. The so-called hill fort has several features that make it more likely to be an animal enclosure than a defended settlement: single rampart with ditch simple opening for an entrance situated on the slope of a hill the hill rises over 50 m above the ring the area is only 0.9 hectares (2.2 acres) The case for an enclosure is less clear cut than for Trendle Ring, since Plainsfield is on a spur and does have steep slopes on two sides, making it like a promontory fort, similar to nearby Ruborough. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

The Quantock Hills west of Bridgwater in Somerset, England, consist of heathland, oak woodlands, ancient parklands and agricultural land. They were England's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, designated in 1956. Natural England have designated the Quantock Hills as a national character area. They are entirely surrounded by another: the Vale of Taunton and Quantock Fringes. The hills run from the Vale of Taunton Deane in the south, for about 15 miles (24 km) to the north-west, ending at Kilve and West Quantoxhead on the coast of the Bristol Channel. They form the western border of Sedgemoor and the Somerset Levels. From the top of the hills on a clear day, it is possible to see Glastonbury Tor and the Mendips to the east, Wales as far as the Gower Peninsula to the north, the Brendon Hills and Exmoor to the west, and the Blackdown Hills to the south. The highest point on the Quantocks is Wills Neck, at 1,261 feet (384 m). Soil types and weather combine to support the hills' plants and animals. In 1970, an area of 6,194.5 acres (2,506.8 ha) was designated as a Biological Site of Special Scientific Interest. Archaeological landscape features include Bronze Age round barrows, extensive ancient field systems and Iron Age hill forts. Roman silver coins have been discovered in West Bagborough. The hills are popular with walkers, mountain bikers, horse riders and tourists who explore paths such as the Coleridge Way.

Church Of St Peter And St Paul in Over Stowey, Somerset, England, is the Anglican parish church for the ancient parish of Over Stowey, now part of the Quantock Villages Benefice in the Diocese of Bath and Wells. The tower and part of the nave date from the 14th century. There is also 15th century work but the building was heavily restored and enlarged by Richard Carver (architect) in the 19th century. There are some fine carved oak bench ends typical of the area and an unusual monument to the brothers Rich (died 1813 and 1815) depicting agricultural implements and a beehive. Several windows are by Morris & Co including two which are designed by Edward Burne-Jones. One depicts the Angel of the Resurrection and the other a band of angelic musicians. Two of the six bells in the tower are medieval, from Exeter and one dated 1714. Many of the monuments inside and outside the church are to members of the Labouchere and later Stanley family who built and occupied Quantock Lodge, owned much of the parish and funded the church restoration. A large granite cross in the churchyard is a memorial to Henry Stanley, cricketer and heir to the Quantock Lodge Estate who was killed in the Boer War. The diarist William Holland was the vicar of Over Stowey from 1779 until his death in 1819. In 2000 the church was featured on the Royal Mail's First Class Christmas Stamp

William Holland (9 May 1746 – 17 April 1819) is now best remembered for his diary, which he kept from 1799 to 1818.
