Coleridge Way

Follows the footsteps of poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge across 51 miles of Somerset, linking Nether Stowey to Lynmouth on the Devon coast. Expect varied terrain from gentle Quantock Hills meadows to steep, rugged climbs through Exmoor's combes and moorland. Not suitable for buggies; challenging sections make it better for older children (10+) with stamina. Dogs welcome but must be under close control near livestock, especially on farmland stretches. Rewards with dramatic coastal views, literary he

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

Tackles steep, relentless climbs through North Hill and Selworthy Beacon with 400m+ elevation gain—this is proper coast path terrain, not for buggies or very young children. Dogs welcome but keep them leashed near livestock and cliff edges. Delivers stunning Somerset coast views, ancient oak woodland, and classic South West Coast Path drama. Experienced walkers only for this challenging opener.

Selworthy Circular Pink Route, Holnicote Estate

Winds through ancient oak woodland and open moorland with steady climbs rewarding you with sweeping views across the Holnicote Estate to the coast. Mostly well-maintained paths but expect some steep sections and uneven terrain – suitable for older children used to walking but not buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. The chocolate-box village of Selworthy with its thatched cottages and medieval church makes a perfect midway stop.
