Join us for this wonderful holiday in Dunster, a remarkably preserved medieval village on the northeastern edge of Exmoor National Park in Somerset.

The walking will take in a variety of landscapes including the South West Coast Path, Exmoor National Park and the nearby steep wooded valleys. There are dramatic seascapes, quaint villages and some excellent long range views to enjoy. This is a landscape steeped in history and legends, yet for may it remains a hidden gem.

Walks will be confirmed nearer the time but possible highlights include beautiful Porlock on the South West Coast Path, Minehead, the start (and sometimes end) of the SWCP, Dunkery Beacon inland with great views, sections of the Coleridge Way which links locations associated with the Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
