Set in the beautiful countryside of rural North Somerset, Elm Tree Cottage stands in quiet seclusion in the conservation area of Tickenham Hill with wonderful southerly panoramic views from all but one room. The driveway and parking area at the front becomes a footpath leading into Towerhouse Wood; ancient woodland owned by the Woodland Trust and just yards away.

So if you need to simply let go, relax and enjoy the countryside, then the many local walks will please and delight. Take a short stroll through the woodland and fields at the end of our garden or walk along the river bank then up to Cadbury Camp, the remains of an Iron Age Hill Fort owned by the National Trust. The uphill walk will reward you with fabulous panoramic views stretching as far as the North Devon Coast to the south or across the Severn Estuary to the Brecon beacons beyond. Half an hour drive away you could explore the many trails on Mendip designated an area of outstanding natural beauty.

Alternatively, within twenty minutes you could be exploring Bristol’s historic harbour side where Brunel’s SS Great Britain is berthed in the dry dock where she was built, and only a short distance from the magnificent Clifton Suspension Bridge

We provide maps and routes to help you find the best from this great location. Whether it’s, superb countryside and coastal walks, great restaurants and country pubs, cycling, fishing or golf we will help you to make the most of this most spectacular scenic and historic corner of Somerset.
