Walking on Exmoor
Exmoor is walking heaven. You can walk along miles
of sign-posted track, often without seeing another person for hours
even though more people come to Exmoor to walk than any other activity.We
have various maps and publications in the cottages
with which you can plan a route. We are registered with EnjoyEngland.com
as having special facilities for walkers such as washing and drying
facilities, boot washing and maps of the local area.
Exmoor
National Park organise guided walks and produce a good guide.
You can even get full detail maps on the parks' website at: walking
maps
We have two cottages Coleridge
Cottage and Wordsworth Cottage
both with double beds. Wordsworth can be converted into two single
beds by request. Both cottages can be booked
together to form one large cottage which sleeps 4 people, as they
have secure interconnecting doors.
The Coleridge Way
The Coleridge Way is a 36 mile walking
route through the stunning Somerset countryside of the Quantock
Hills, the Brendon Hills and Exmoor National Park: a landscape that
inspired Samuel Coleridge to
produce some of his best known work.
The walk, from Nether Stowey to Porlock, can be completed over three
or four consecutive days, making it ideal for a short break. The
website is: www.coleridgeway.co.uk.
We are situated just off the Roadwater section so we are a perfect
start of finish location. We are happy to take your luggage onto
your next overnight destination, by prior arrangement.
The Two Moors Way
The Two Moors Way is a long-distance walking route between Ivybridge
on the southern edge of Dartmoor and Lynmouth on the North Coast
of Exmoor, comprehensively way marked except on the open moorland
sections. It has a total length of 102 miles (163 km), making it
an ideal week's walk.
The Way links the only two National Parks in southern
England, and crosses both of them north-south. Not surprisingly,
it passes through landscape of exceptionally high quality. Not only
does this include the high moorland of some of the Dartmoor and
Exmoor sections, but also the deep and wooded valleys of the moorland
edges and between the moors, unspoilt rural scenery with a remote
and tranquil feel difficult to find elsewhere in modern times. Walking
mostly not too difficult, but one or two strenuous stretches; some
unwaymarked open moorland requiring navigational skills.
The South West Coast Path
The South West Coast Path National Trail - 630 miles of superb coastal
walking. From Minehead on the edge of the Exmoor National Park to
the shores of Poole Harbour in Dorset it is the best way to enjoy
the wonderful coastal scenery, wildlife and heritage.
The Tarka Trail
Over 30 miles of the Tarka Trail is available to cyclists between
Braunton and Meeth, using the old railways of North Devon. Passing
through the largely unspoilt countryside as it was described by
Henry Williamson in his classic novel Tarka the Otter
first published in 1927.

The Exmoor Perambulation
Reborn as an annual event on Exmoor in
1983, the Perambulation is still growing in popularity. The
walk is open to everyone, providing the opportunity to take
part in an integral part of Exmoors history.
