Farewell to the stunning Quantocks

My last walk on the Quantocks for some time - and they put on a good show. The Coleridge Study weekend will move to another location (not too far away) and a new date (October) after many years at Kilve Court. The weekend is a very welcoming event--high quality papers and a mix of attendees; academics; locals; interested bystanders...and local journalists such as Martin Hesp who has published a fictional account of the Walford Murder and included Quantock personalities. Hesp has upset the French company EDF who operate the nearby Hinkley Point nuclear station by suggesting that a tsunami in the Bristol Channel (yes, there was one in the 1600s) would wipe out the plant and forthcoming extensions.
