Walking and Hiking Groups:
Exmoor offers a paradise for walkers and hikers with over 1000km of bridleways and signed footpaths to explore.

There are some great walks such as Great Hangman and Little Hangman at Combe Martin, rising up to 318m with a sheer rock face, well worth the effort. Dunkery Beacon is also a challenge and the Lorna Doone walk alongside the river is a real experience. After your walk, why not enjoy a delicious meal in the restaurant and plan the next day.
