Somerset Levels
The Somerset Levels (or Somerset Levels and Moors as they are less commonly but more correctly called) is a sparsely populated wetland area of central Somerset between the Quantock and Mendip hills, consisting of marine clay "levels" along the coast, and the inland (often peat based) "moors".
