Its uniquely beautiful combination of moor and coast, woodland and
valleys, hills and forest, and wildness and gentleness, makes it ideal
for exploring on foot. The National Park's northern boundary is the
Bristol Channel coast, stretching in a dramatic series of cliffs
interrupted only by the Vale of Porlock, from North Hill above Minehead
in the east to Little Hangman above Combe Martin in the west.
This
collection of walks ranges from the bare expanses of the Chains, the
last real wilderness on Exmoor, to a picturesque riverside route along
the Exe, from Badgworthy Water to a coastal walk taking in the
spectacular Valley of Rocks.
