RANDONNÉES

Among the many possible treks, we have selected two of the most beautiful hikes.

The Coleridge Way. On 36 miles, walk in the footsteps of the romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, from Nether Stowey, to the east of Minehead, to Porlock. Between the Quantocks Hills and the national park, passing through Brendon Hills, the trek extends over 3 or 4 days by taking the tour-visits.

The South West Coast Path. England's longest trek runs 630 miles along the coast from Minehead to South Haven Point (near Poole). Some of the highest cliffs in England stand on this trail. Caves, moorland, hilly landscapes follow. Entries are made from each coastal village in Exmoor.
