Good Easy Walks on Exmoor and The Quantocks

Our closest walks are a lovely circular forest walk through a disused quarry in our village, or nearby Willett Hill has lovely forest walks too.  Ask us when you are here for directions to both as neither are clearly marked.  

There's so much choice for walks on Exmoor it's difficult to know where to begin!  We are very lucky to have Exmoor on our doorstep with over 1000km of footpaths and bridleways, through oak woodlands, alongside tumbling rivers, open heather-covered moorland and dramatic coast, the variety is endless.  

​Tarr Steps has an easy circular walk with good pub - a good choice for families with young children.  We love Simonsbath and Withypool, also walks along the river and both are good for paddling.  You could walk a bit of the SW coastal path at beautiful Bossington, or visit Horner Woods, Lorna Doone Valley or Heddon's Mouth.  Nearby Wimbleball Lake has easy walks too.    Dunkery Beacon is the highest point in Somerset, a fairly easy walk to the top with fantastic views, but don't do it in high winds as it can be cold!  The National Trust also has some good Exmoor walks here. 

​We are also close to The Quantock Hills, a 20 minute drive away.  There are so many walks up there, for an easy walk try Lydeard Hill, or here are some National Trust walks.
