Welcome to Neroche. This is your gateway to the landscape of the northern ridge of the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, spanning the border of Somerset and Devon, from Culmstock Beacon in the west to Castle Neroche in the east.
The Neroche area blends secret places to explore, long distance Herepath Trails for walking and horse riding, a forest full of wildlife, and a rich historical landscape to discover. We invite you to visit, to learn and to work with us to set this landscape free.
Neroche is a Landscape Partnership Scheme supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund and a range of local organisations. Led by the Forestry Commission and working closely with the local community, the Scheme is working to protect and celebrate the heritage of the area, and to provide opportunities for quiet enjoyment, education and training in countryside skills.
This site provides information for residents and visitors, and a forum for groups who share our aims, including the Blackdown Hills Woodland Association. We welcome your feedback to make this Scheme serve all its constituents to the full.
