Exmoor is famous for its stunning walks.
Whatever level of walking you enjoy, you are
guaranteed to find an interesting walk here. The
coastal path runs through Lynton and Lynmouth,
making it possible to plan an interesting walk of
any distance from your doorstep! There are
many famous short walks locally, either from
Lynton or just a short drive away.
NORTH WALK - about an hour's walk takes
you through the town, then out along the path
pictured (where you may see our local wild
goats) with views across to Wales, then back
through the famous Valley of Rocks. An
interesting variation takes you slightly higher
to Hollerday Hill, where after seeing the site
of George Newnes mansion you pass through
the Iron Age Fort to the summit with great
views of the Valley of Rocks. PICTURE

WATERSMEET - Another 'must do' walk,
along the river from Lynmouth to the
National Trust lodge where the Lyn meets
Hoar Oak Water. Excellent food (including
cream teas!) then back the way you
came, or if you're feeling adventurous,
over Countisbury Hill or Myrtle Berry
Cleeve, which gives the best views over
Lynton and Lynmouth. PICTURE

WOODY BAY - Walk as far as
you like through the Valley of
Rocks and along the Coastal
Path to Lee Bay and Woody Bay

HEDDON'S MOUTH - A short drive
to the National Trust property at
Hunter's Inn, then the very popular
walk along the river to the sea at
Heddon's Mouth. PICTURE
THE DOONE VALLEY
A short drive through
Lynmouth to County
Gate, then plan a
route around the
beautiful Doone Valley
footpaths.
SELWORTHY - Drive to the
network of paths that lead from
the National Trust property at
Selworthy . . . woodland walks,
the coastal path, and
magnificent views from
Selworthy Beacon,
incorporating the highly
recommended Periwinkle
Cottage tea rooms!
WITHYPOOL TO TARR
STEPS. A 30-minute drive
to Withypool, where the
circular walk begins. Along
the river to the famous
beauty spot of Tarr Steps,
then back across moorland
to Withypool.
About 8 miles. PICTURE
COMBE MARTIN TO LYNTON.
If you're feeling adventurous, take
a bus or taxi to Combe Martin
and walk back along the Coastal
Path. Hunters Inn makes an ideal
lunch stop, just past half-way.
This is a 14-mile walk, taking
all day - between 6-8 hours, but
is well worth it. PICTURE
There is an amazing network of well-kept footpaths here. It seems that every walk you do leads to other possibilities. We are always happy to give you directions or suggestions for walks, and we have many books and maps for you to borrow.
