Exmoor - 40 Favourite Walks

Straddling the counties of Somerset and Devon, Exmoor is a place which never fails to stir the imagination, thanks to the coastline of stark cliffs lining the Bristol Channel, the wooded valleys, tumbling streams and wild moorland. Designation as a national park in 1954 has helped Exmoor’s villages and small towns keep their character and, although the moorland can undoubtedly be austere, this unassuming corner of England has an overriding softness and beguiling, timeless charm. The 40 walks in this guide make the most of more than 1000km of public rights of way and the many long-distance walks which criss-cross the landscape, offering something for every kind of walker.
