Exmoor National Park in Somerset and Devon has a wide choice of terrain to explore from dramatic sea cliffs to gentle valleys.
With 55 km (34 miles) of coastline, there are ample opportunities for fishing as well as walking and cycling on land. Like the Brecon Beacons, Exmoor National Park is designated as an International Dark Sky Reserve and runs regular events for visitors to learn more about astronomy.
The South West Coast Path stretches from Minehead in Somerset to Poole Harbour in Dorset. Surging around the south coast, England’s longest National Trail is an awesome place in which to GetOutside. Here are 10 great spots to visit.
The South West Coast Path draws many an excited hiker to western shores. But you don’t have to embark on the full 630-mile trail to revel in its glory. Devon-based OS GetOutside Champion Belinda Dixon outlines three of her favourite SWCP day trails.
This circular coastal walk includes wild, expansive moorland steep-sided wooded valleys and a rugged coastline with high cliffs, hidden coves and secluded beaches.
