A glorious 6.1 mile walk from the enchanting village of Selworthy, climbing up through Selworthy Coombe onto Bossington Hill and Selworthy Beacon, one of the highest points on Exmoor and one of Englands 'Marilyns'.
The alk along the plateau gives great views over Minehead and, once on the seaward side, a choice can be made to take a lower route to experience more of the cliff path. We chose the higher route as we were limited for time. It's still a fantastic walk.

An enjoyable 4.8 mile circular walk from the picturesque village of Fingest, gently uphill to Cadmore End, following the ridge before descending to Fingest again.
There are nice pubs at both ends, with The Chequers Inn being more off the beaten track (although busier at weekends).

Strenuous Walk
A hilly 4 mile circular walk with a particularly steep section near the beginning. The walk begins from the car park at Kimmeridge Bay (a pay booth is at the top of the private road).
After leaving the car park and passing the fishermen's cottages, you'll cross a field before heading up a very steep footpath (questioning whether it really is a footpath). Once at the top though, the views are outstanding and, following the ridge toward Tyneham Cap is a treat.

The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge takes in the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, usually in this order, and in under 12 hours. These peaks form part of the Pennine range, and encircle the head of the valley of the River Ribble, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
6 - 7 Miles
Strenuous Walk
A hilly 6.4 mile circular walk with some steep climbs and descents that circles around the deserted village of Tyneham.
Parking in the Tyneham NT car park (honesty box), the village itself is well worth a visit, especially for the schoolhouse and church. The manor house used to be a highlight but has now been fenced off due to falling masonry.
The route can be shortened and hills avoided to a certain extent. There's a shorter route to Worbarrow Bay, avoiding the steep climb up above Gad Cliff.

A 14 mile circular walk that takes in a variety of terrain with great views over Sixpenny Handley and Cranbourne. For those interested, this route follows the Cranbourne Chase Circular 100 cache power trail.
We parked on the road through Cranbourne and walked a few hundred metres to start this route. Almost immediately, you pass Cranborne Church, built between the 12th and 15th centuries, followed by Cranborne Manor, originally a medieval hunting lodge founded by Henry VIII and extended by Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury between 1607 and 1611.

At this point, a detour (not on GPX route) can be made to Meall Gorm, with spectacular view over Loch Damh and Loch Torridon
Once on the col, the path follows a ridge along Glac nam bac adn Spidean toll nam Biast to the summit of Beinn Damh at 903m.
