One of the few Easy Access sites on Exmoor; two trails of 830m and 350m have more or less level paths that are suitable terrain for wheelchairs and buggies. On the top of the hill there's a rather romantic stone hut where you can stop to admire the breath taking views.

At 519m this is the highest point on Exmoor and it's worth the hike to the top because you feel like you're king of the world and you can see for miles and miles and miles. It can get busy in the summer and at times it's almost like a pilgrimage with all the people walking up there, but everyone says hello and it's all very jolly, so don't let it put you off.

Exmoor National Park is a land of steep wooded hillsides, lush river valleys, open farmland, heather-clad heaths and rugged moors where wild ponies feed. Inbetween are peaceful hamlets and villages and little market towns. It's a very diverse landscape with so many beautiful places that really are worth seeing; put Tarr Steps, Watersmeet, Porlock Weir, Culbone Church, and Bossington on your list. For days by the sea, go to Minehead, Blue Anchor or Watchet.

An ancient woodland within the Holnicote Estate on Exmoor; oh, it's lovely - huge pollarded oaks, moss covered tree trunks, tinkling streams and well worn paths to follow. The perfect autumn walk in the woods, kicking up the leaves, catching them when they tumble down on the breeze.

Tarr Steps is a lovely place for a walk whether you want a gentle amble or more of a hike. Most people just manage to stroll down the hill to the river and the ancient clapper bridge and then back up to Tarr Farm Inn for cream tea, but you can do so much better than that. Walk up to Winsford Hill to see Exmoor ponies feeding or do the circular to Dulverton and back.

Here’s a nice walk: park at Withypool and walk up to the top of Withypool Hill where you can see a Neolithic bowl barrow and cairn, and on the slopes, one of only two complete stone circles on Exmoor. Amazing views, so take a picnic and soak it all up, otherwise head back down for a local venison burger at The Royal Oak, or for cream tea at Withypool Tea Rooms.
