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.

Having been this way before, we elected not to climb up to the summit of the beacon but it's an easy detour for those that wish to.

The route circles back round and passes an interesting memorial hut before descending once again through Selworthy Coombe.

Before returning to the car park, a short detour to have a look arond the old model village is well worth it.  There's an award winning teas shop there too (seasonal).
