A fantastic 5.2 mile walk with some good climbs and some great views. Parking can be found in the public car park at Porlock Weir and the trail followed from just past it. Beware of taking the trail out behind the pub as it doesn't lead anywhere.
6 - 7 Miles
Moderate Walk
One of our favourite winter walks of 2014/2015, this 6 mile circuit provide a wide variety of terrains including forests, fields, hills, gullies and more. The footpaths and tracks are also varied and interesting. Highly recommended.
Parking available in Turville as well as a very nice local pub, The Bull & Butcher.
3 - 4 Miles
Easy walk
A very pleasant 3.7 mile walk around the hamlet of Idsworth.
We found road side parking near St Huberts Chapel, a Mediaeval church in the middle of the adjacent field.
The route follows the valley and returns through Markwells Wood.
6 - 7 Miles
Moderate Walk
A glorious 6.1 mile walk from the enchanting village of Selworthy, climbing up through Selworthy Coombe onto Bossington Hill and Selworthy Beacon, one of the highest points on Exmoor and one of Englands 'Marilyns'.
The alk along the plateau gives great views over Minehead and, once on the seaward side, a choice can be made to take a lower route to experience more of the cliff path. We chose the higher route as we were limited for time. It's still a fantastic walk.
4 - 5 Miles
Moderate Walk
An enjoyable 4.8 mile circular walk from the picturesque village of Fingest, gently uphill to Cadmore End, following the ridge before descending to Fingest again.
There are nice pubs at both ends, with The Chequers Inn being more off the beaten track (although busier at weekends).
4 - 5 Miles
Strenuous Walk
A hilly 4 mile circular walk with a particularly steep section near the beginning. The walk begins from the car park at Kimmeridge Bay (a pay booth is at the top of the private road).
After leaving the car park and passing the fishermen's cottages, you'll cross a field before heading up a very steep footpath (questioning whether it really is a footpath). Once at the top though, the views are outstanding and, following the ridge toward Tyneham Cap is a treat.
20 - 25 Miles
Strenuous Hike
The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge takes in the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, usually in this order, and in under 12 hours. These peaks form part of the Pennine range, and encircle the head of the valley of the River Ribble, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
6 - 7 Miles
Strenuous Walk
A hilly 6.4 mile circular walk with some steep climbs and descents that circles around the deserted village of Tyneham.
Parking in the Tyneham NT car park (honesty box), the village itself is well worth a visit, especially for the schoolhouse and church. The manor house used to be a highlight but has now been fenced off due to falling masonry.
The route can be shortened and hills avoided to a certain extent. There's a shorter route to Worbarrow Bay, avoiding the steep climb up above Gad Cliff.
6 - 7 Miles
Moderate Walk
A good 7 mile walk with some lovely views of the area. There's free parking at the sports centre just on the west side of the village and the footpath start next to it. Some hilly sections. There's also an historic Stone Age Motte just below the playing fields.
There's a pub in the village and a local village shop.
