Lorna Doone Farm Cafe & B&B

The smell of bacon drifts from the farmhouse kitchen before you've even unzipped your pod — proper west-country mornings start here.

This working farm on the edge of Exmoor offers a handful of camping pods alongside traditional B&B rooms, so it suits couples after a cosy bolt-hole or small families who want a roof but still that camping feeling. You're in Lorna Doone country — all high moorland, deep combes, and red deer — with the kind of cafe that does a full English you'll remember and home baking that stops walkers in their tracks. The mix of pod campers and B&B guests gives the place a friendly, chatty atmosphere without being crowded.

Facilities aren't listed in detail, so ask when you book about showers and electric hook-ups if you're podding it. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, and campfires need checking on arrival — they're farming here, so it depends on the season and ground conditions. Open all year, which makes it a good shout for an off-season Exmoor escape when the moor's moody and the cafe's even more appealing.

South West Coast Path (Section 2: Porlock Weir to Lynmouth / Lynton)

Climbs dramatically along sheer coastal cliffs with several punishing ascents and descents through deep combes—this is arguably the toughest stretch of the entire South West Coast Path. Steep gradients and exposed clifftop sections make it unsuitable for young children and impossible for buggies. Dogs welcome but must be fit and agile. Rewards include breathtaking views across the Bristol Channel, ancient oak woodlands clinging to valley sides, and spectacular waterfalls at Watersmeet near Lynmo

King Charles III England Coast Path: Minehead to Combe Martin

Follows dramatic clifftop terrain along the Exmoor coastline with several steep ascents and descents through wooded combes. Not suitable for buggies or very young children due to challenging gradients, uneven paths, and cliff edges. Dogs welcome but must be under close control near livestock and cliff edges. Rewards walkers with stunning coastal views, rare wildlife, and varied landscapes from beaches to ancient woodland.

Watersmeet to Ash Bridge circular walk

Loops through stunning ancient oak woodland along the East Lyn River, mostly on well-maintained National Trust paths with moderate inclines and occasional stone steps. Suitable for older children but tricky for buggies due to uneven terrain and narrow riverside sections. Dogs welcome on leads. The dramatic river gorges, mossy rock formations and Watersmeet House (NT tearoom) make this a classic Exmoor valley walk with proper wilderness feel despite the short distance.
