Drive up onto Exmoor from Wheddon Cross and park at Dunkery Gate just as you get on National Trust land, then choose an open moorland walk to the top of Dunkery Beacon via a long or short route, where you will get a view over Porlock and across the Bristol Channel to Wales.
Just under three miles of walking with spectacular views when you reach the top, this is a great family friendly walk that kiddies can bring their kite for.
A beautiful four mile moderate stroll around the western side of Porlock Bay taking in woodland, Porlock Beach and marshy pastures.
Snowdrop Valley lies on the River Anvill in eastern Exmoor, near the village of Wheddon Cross. The valley has become such a popular spot for walking during snowdrop season (usually February) that the road is closed off to general traffic and the Exmoor National Park Authority operates a park-and-ride service from Wheddon Cross to Snowdrop Valley during this period. (See website for regularly updated details.) Welllies or walking shoes recommended.
The South West Coast Path National Trail - 630 miles of superb coastal walking.
