Tarr Steps

The ancient bridge of Tarr Steps is a well-known visitor attraction but the beautiful wooded valley of the River Barle is also worth exploring for its wildlife. Combined with the heathland of Winsford Hill and its wild ponies, this makes a varied walk. The circular walk is ideal for families it is well sign posted and is about 1 ½ miles long. The walk is relatively flat and once you have finished you can enjoy a drink at the pub.


Terrain: Hilly in places

The walk starts in the small town of Woolacombe. Woolacombe has a few shops and pubs, but the main attraction is the superb sandy beach. The beach holds a Blue Flag, so the beach and water are very clean. The west-facing location of the beach means it gets quite a surf so it's not very safe for swimming but is very popular with surfers. The beach is around two miles long, so even in the summer, it's always possible to find part of the beach that isn't too crowded. The official coast path runs behind the beach, but it is also possible to walk the length of the beach, to Putsborough, around two miles away. You can chose to walk along the beach, but the coast path follows the road for a short while, before going off into the dunes and then onto the cliffs as you head south.

If you walk along the beach, the coast path can be joined at Putsborough Sands, where there are steps up from the beach. It is then a fairly gentle walk out onto Baggy Point, with excellent views of the beach and back towards Woolacombe and Morte Point. There are some quite spectacular rock formations around Baggy Point - there were some people climbing the rocks when I was there.

As you round the headland, Croyde Bay comes into view. Once round the headland it is a fairly gentle walk into Croyde. Croyde Bay also has a blue flag and is another excellent beach. As it's smaller than Woolacombe it does get very crowded, and the surf can be bigger here than at Woolacombe. There are dunes at the back of the beach.

Croyde Village is also a pretty place with several thatched cottages. It has a pub and a few shops. Buses depart from the village, near the pub.


Terrain: Long moderate hill at the beginning but then relatively level

The Route: Start the walk from Hunters Inn and take the path sign posted Woody Bay leading from the right as you face the Inn.

Walk along the side of the pub on the track sign posted Heddons Mouth and Woody Bay. After a short distance the track divides, here fork right towards Woody Bay. The path gently climbs up through the sessile oaks following the course of an old stage coach route.

You eventually leave the woods behind and wind up the hill with views over Heddons Mouth to your left, following the track around a combe to cross a small stream before climbing again to reach the top where the route levels out along the top of the cliffs revealing spectacular views over the Bristol Channel to your left.

The route passes the site of a Roman fortlet which was built by the Emperor Nero to keep a watch on the Silures tribe in South Wales and was rediscovered by archeologists in the 1960s.
The route follows the top of the cliffs around with views to the front of you over Woody Bay and towards Contisbury. Then the path starts to descend into woodland finally reaching a gate onto a lane, here turn left and head down the hill.

Continue down the lane for a short distance and just past a small car park turn left onto a no through road. The road drops steeply down the hill through woods before bending to the right. Here carry straight on through some bollards onto the path sign posted “coast path Hunters Inn”.

The route climbs up again through the trees passing through a small wicket gate before emerging from the woods to bend around a small combe and cross a stream by a water fall.

Following the coast closely the route continues around the cliffs with spectacular views over the sea.
Finally you bend back around the point to start your descent down to Heddons Mouth. At the bottom of the hill fork left onto the footpath towards Hunters Inn.

The path soon divides, keep to the right following the banks of the river past a small stone bridge and returning back to Hunters Inn.


Terrain: Very steep climb up the valley then back down to Hunters Inn with narrow cliff edge path

The Route: Start the walk at Hunters Inn and take the track that runs along the right-hand side of the inn as you look at it following the sign to Heddons Mouth. After a short while the path divides, take the left hand fork down towards the river. Keep taking the left forks until the path reaches the river. Cross the river when you reach the little stone bridge go up the hill and bear left and follow the sign posts to “coast path Combe Martin”.

After a short while take a sharp right turn steeply up the hill on the signposted path just before a small bench. Climb through the woods and steeply up zig-zagging up the hill with spectacular views over Heddons Mouth and back over Heddons Valley.

Continue along the path taking care around the point and along the narrow clifftop path admiring the views over the sea. Continue until you reach a path to your left signposted Trentishoe Church, bear left here and head along the valley with spectacular views over Heddon Valley and Hunters Inn. Continue along the path until you reach a small lane, turn left down the hill and continue back along the lane to Hunters Inn.


Terrain: Hilly.

The Route: Start the walk from the beach car park at Combe Martin. Follow the south west coast path leading from the car park along a short lane and then up some steps climbing steeply up behind the houses. At the top of the hill you reach a shelter where you can rest for a while and admire the views.
Continue along the path, still gradually climbing, admiring the far reaching views to your right over Combe Martin and onto another seat over looking Wild Pear unofficial nudist beach.

Continue on ignoring the path back to Combe Martin and go through a wicket gate towards Little Hangman still climbing upwards, with views behind you now of Wild Pear and Combe Martin. Finally reaching the summit of Little Hangman you continue along the well marked coast path towards Great Hangman which you can see in the distance. The route goes through a series of wicker gates until it reaches open moorland. At Great Hangman, the summit of which is marked by a pile of stones, continue on down the other side until you reach a corner of a stone wall. Here you turn right following the footpath to County Road.

Continue on the path reaching some sheep pens. Here cross through two field gates where the path becomes a farm track which you continue down skirting around the side of Girt Down Farm. From the farm continue down the lane sign posted Combe Martin. After a short distance at the top of a small rise in the road take a path to your right marked to Combe Martin and Knapp Down Lane.
At the bottom of the path turn right down the tarmac road continue along down the hill until you see a footpath to your right marked by a green sign which you take leading you back to Combe Martin, at the bottom cross straight over the road and continue back down the foot path leading to the High Street passing the school on your right side as you go.


Terrain:- Mainly level with gentle hills

The Route: The walk begins from the path leading from the top tier of the public car park and rises through the wood for a short distance before it levels out. After a while you drop down into a small valley and ford a small stream with stepping stones. Leaving the wood follow the well marked yellow posts showing the route of the path across the open pasture land reaching a small wicket gate at the top corner. Stop for a while to admire the view.

Continue following the yellow posts up and onto the open moorland. Head for a field gate at the top and go though it keeping the hedge to your left and follow the signs to Prayway Head.
Follow the hedge to the road and go through the wicket gate, turn right and follow the road for about 200 yards to a small layby. At the layby go through the gate and follow the path into the field, head for the small wicket gate on the right and go through it keeping the Cornish hedge to your left and follow the hedge to the top corner and go through the gate then immediately turn left and follow the blue signs to Simonsbath.
Continue towards another gate at the bottom, avoiding the sheep pens and walk diagonally across the field to the small wicket gate in the distance keeping the steep valley to your left. Cross a further field to another wicket gate still keeping the valley and Limecombe Cottage to your left. The path leads into another field crossing to a further gate. Go through and immediately turn left to the edge of some woodland. Follow the blue way markers leading down through the wood and eventually reaching the main road.

After just a few yards cross the road and follow the footpath signposted Simonsbath. Go down the hill and pass through a further gate and turn left following a well marked path along the edge of the Upper Barle crossing over several plank bridges before returning to Simonsbath.


Terrain: Relatively level along the river banks with one moderate hill half way climbing onto the moor.

The Route: Start at the sign post opposite the Exmoor Forest Hotel. Follow the path a few yards and fork right sign-posted Landacre. Follow the path through the woods and along the northerly bank of the river Barle, walking along the river bank the whole way until a small hill where you bear left rejoining the Barle at Wheal Eliza, a C19th worked out copper mine. Continue along the river until you reach Cow Castle, an Iron Age Hill fort on top of a conical shaped hill. It is worth the short climb to the top of the castle for the spectacular views of the Barle valley.

Follow the path around Cow Castle and across a small footbridge into a copse. The path leads along a track through the wood to a gate. The gate leads onto open moor. The path climbs up onto the moor leaving the river to your right. As you reach the ridge the path divides, Point "A", follow the signs to Withypool. It is worth stopping here to take in the views over Landacre Bridge. Following the path you reach a small road, point B, go straight across onto a lane. Follow the lane until you start descending into Withypool where on your right you see the village sign posted across the fields. Follow the footpath into the village and the Royal Oak is on the left when you reach the road. The Royal Oak is very good for lunch and you can sit outside on picnic benches in the summer or by the fire in Jake's Bar in the winter.

After lunch you can either retrace your steps to point "A" or leaving the Inn on your right follow the road down to the river, cross the brige and on your right you will notice a sign-post to Landacre. Follow the Barle to Landacre Bridge. Cross the river and follow the road up the hill past Landacre farm to point "B". Retrace your steps to point "A".(This optional route will add an extra hour onto your walk.)

At point "A" continue straight ahead sign posted Simonsbath via Picked Stones. Follow the path through a gate. Bear left along the edge of a field. Go through a gate and turn left down a farm track, through a metal gate and on to the farm. The path leads you around in front of the farm. Follow the sign posts across the fields through several gates taking in a spectacular view of Cow Castle to your left. Descend into a valley, cross a small brook and climb the hill. Near the top bear left between the gate-posts and then walk right along the edge of the field. Continue along the hedge through three more gates and just before the fourth gate turn left, the path leads along the righthand edge of the field. Go through the gate keeping the hedge on your right through three more gates then bear left to another gate. Follow the path towards the wood descending back into Simonsbath.


Terrain: Mainly level with one steep hill out of Brendon.

The Route: Start the route at the small car park at Dry Bridge on the B3232 on Brendon Common.
Follow the path from the car park sign-posted to Shilstone leading towards the trig point. Here carry straight over descending off the moor, the path well marked by yellow way markers. The route continues down towards Shilstone Farm.

Continue descending through pasture fields to cross a small brook before ascending up to Shilstone Farm. Walk between the farm buildings to a gate in front of you, cross the field towards the stone corner of a hedge on the other side of the field. Here you see another sign directing you to your left down through the next field to a style at the bottom leading onto a small lane.

Turn left onto the lane and follow it down the hill and a short distance up the other side before turning right onto a footpath which takes you down into the woods.

Descend steeply towards Rockford following the course of a small brook reaching another lane at the bottom where you turn left and follow the road for a short while towards Rockford.
Just before entering the hamlet turn right across a wooden footbridge and then right again onto a footpath towards Brendon.

Continue along the path following the banks of the river Lyn the route finally leading you through Contisburry Mill and onto a small lane where you continue straight on. You eventually cross the river via the road bridge at Brendon.

Just after crossing the Lyn there is a crossroads, here you continue straight over sign-posted to Tippacott. Follow the lane for about a mile ascending out of the valley and leading you to a cattle grid and back onto Brendon Common. Cross straight over the lane in front of you onto a track sign-posted Dry Bridge.
The path heads towards a field then follows the field fence on your left until reaching a corner of a hedge where the route divides. Avoid the temptation to turn right, even though it is sign-posted back to Dry Bridge, instead carry straight on in the direction of Malmsmead.

Continue along the route, shortly crossing a major grass track, carry straight over and towards the brow of the hill. Follow the track down the other side until you reach a sign-post, here turn right onto a stony track way marked to Dry Bridge.

Follow the stony track towards the hill and just before the brow by a big stone another track leads to your right. Turn right here and return the short distance to Dry Bridge, the path returning just a few yards from the car park.


Terrain: Moderate hills.

Turn left alongside the road around Rugged Jack, the rock reputedly named after a member of a band of revellers who was turned to stone by the devil whilst breaking the sabbath. Continue up the road past the Cricket Club to Modelgate Shelter, inside are mosaics depicting how the local landscape had inspired famous 18th and 19th century poets.

The Route: Start the walk at Lyn Dale Cross car park in Lynmouth. Cross the road towards Shelleys Hotel and turn left. After a few yards turn right and follow a path up the hill behind the houses sign posted Summerhouse Hill. The path shortly becomes a track.

Follow the tarmac lane out of the village and up a gentle hill to a 3 directional sign-post. Take the left fork through the gates sign-posted to Bull Point. Continue down the narrow tarmac path ignoring the paths to the right to Lee Bay. As you descend down towards the coast spectacular views open up over the Bristol Channel and the North Atlantic sea with Lundy on the horizon.

At the lighthouse turn sharp left up a few wooden steps onto the coast path. Follow the path along up and down the hills finally reaching Rockham Cove which is worth a while stopping to explore.

The coastal path finally leads you through a gate into a field where you veer up to the left and finally go through a gate onto the road back up to Mortehoe.


Terrain: Riverside and one gentle hill up through the woods.

The Route: Start the walk at the layby by the packhorse bridge opposite Home Place Farm. Take the signposted path opposite the bridge or, if wet underfoot, the alternative route via the Old School House. Follow the footpath with the yellow markings through the wicket gate and after a short while cross the little brook, then over the style into the meadow. Keep right signposted to the church and follow the path into the wood.

Follow the path up hill and out onto the open pasture fields taking time to stop and admire the views. Head across the field to the small wicker gate and cross another field towards a field gate. Then walk across a small track through another gate and aim for the church. The church was rebuilt in 1850 but the gothic tower is original. Go through the churchyard and turn right when you reach the lane.

Go just a few yards and turn right off the lane following the blue markers which indicate the bridleway that links Barton Town with Barton Gate.

After about 40 minuets the path divides, turn left sign-posted Woodbarrow. Cross the main road and follow the path to the top of the hill, where you will find the burial mound on the left through the iron gate. It is worth taking in the view from the top of the barrow (You can take a detour from here to the ancient Longstone)
Then follow the signs to Pinkery Pond, the reservoir built by the Knight family in the early C19th.

At Pinkery follow the path sign-posted Chainsbarrow, turn right just before the barrow, sign-posted B3358 road. (Again its worth the detour to see the view from the top of the barrow). Follow the big sticks in the field marked with yellow tops back to the road.

At the main road turn left for 350 yards or so and then turn right down a farm track sign-posted Moles Chamber. (This is part of the ancient Harepath).

At Moles Chamber, so called because of the disappearance into the bog of the Reverend Mole and his horse in the C18th, turn left at the gravestone dated 1742 (or turn right for the short cut) and go through the gate and straight ahead on the lane. Note the views as you descend the hill towards Five Cross Way. At the crossroads turn right and follow the gated track back to Challacombe.
Afterwards why not enjoy a pint and good grub in the Black Venus


Terrain: One moderate hill at the start then relatively level.

The Route: Start the walk from Bank Square in Dulverton. From the church entrance take the path to the right of the church leading to the east end of the building. At a junction here continue straight ahead uphill onto a tarmac path. When reaching a lane turn left, still climbing uphill, passing an old school house on the left. Bear right here up a track towards Broford. Continue steeply up the track through the woods following a well trodden route for about a mile, the trees finally thinning to reveal spectacular views over the valley to your left.

You finally reach a bench with a foot path to your left sign posted “Marsh Bridge”. Take this path and drop down through Looseall woods for about ¾ mile eventually reaching the road. Cross straight over bearing left towards Marsh Bridge, cross over the River Barle and continue down the country lane for about 250 yards. You then turn left picking up a footpath sign posted to “Dulverton”.

The path leads through Kennel Farm and then through some gates to enter woodland. Follow the path back through the woods following the banks of the river Barle for about ¾ of a mile eventually reaching Horner Cottage where you bear left down the hill. Keep bearing left until you reach the main road and cross the bridge back into Dulverton.
