Coleridge Way

Traces 82km from Nether Stowey to Lynmouth through Somerset and Devon, linking locations from Coleridge's life and poetry. Terrain varies dramatically from gentle Quantock Hills moorland to challenging coastal sections with steep ascents along Exmoor's cliffs. Not suitable for buggies; older children managing 10-15km days will cope with easier sections, but coastal stages demand stamina. Dogs welcome throughout. Rewards with literary heritage, sweeping moorland views, dramatic coastline, and qui

South West Coast Path (Section 1: Minehead to Porlock Weir)

Follows the dramatic Somerset coastline with sustained steep climbs through ancient oak woodland and exposed cliff-top sections—this is challenging terrain with significant elevation gain. Not suitable for buggies or young children due to rocky, uneven paths and sheer drops. Dogs welcome but must be under close control near livestock and cliff edges. Rewards with stunning Bristol Channel views, wild moorland meeting sea, and glimpses of Exmoor's rare coastal habitat, making it a classic stretch

Selworthy Circular Pink Route, Holnicote Estate

Loops through classic Exmoor woodland and open moorland with steady climbs through ancient oak forest before emerging onto heathland with sweeping coastal views. The steeper sections and uneven woodland paths make this challenging for buggies—best for confident walkers aged 8+. Dogs welcome on leads near grazing livestock. Rewards effort with stunning vistas across Dunkery Beacon and glimpses of thatched Selworthy village, one of Somerset's prettiest hamlets.
