  • The Doone Valley, Exmoor
    The Doone Valley, Exmoor. The Map OS Explorer OL9 - Exmoor. 1:25000. Time: 5 – 6 hours Grade: Moderate, but a long walk with short spells of steep uphill. Start near Dry Bridge on the B3223 Simonsbath to Lynmouth road, parking in one of a couple of small parking areas GR 759452. Take the track NE for about 1 Km then look for a clear path, at a junction of paths, off right signed “Doone Valley “ Follow the clear track ( little bit vague near the top ) and drop down gently to cross the small stream via a ford. Stay on the track to curve round and down to come into the Doone Valley beside the famous Badgworthy Water (Read the book!) and the ruins of a medieval village, The remains are signified by raised grass and stone humps but little else ! Follow the track ( signed “Malmsmead )“round to the left rather than dropping down to the river . Move north, following the river through incredible scenery and the ever-likely fleeting appearance of deer. Note the lichen covered trees, rivulets and high moor across the river. Look out for the Richard Blackmore commemorative plaque. Eventually, on reaching the approach to Cloud Farm stay on the West side of the river , unless you want to check Cloud Farm for a cream tea but it doesn’t always seem to be open for custom !, and wander down to Malmsmead. Here, the Welcome Inn , Lorna Doone Farm and small shop . Well, worth a moment here to soak up the really beautiful surroundings. The ford, the foxgloves when out, the river – just magic.

  • Exmoor-Perambulation
    PERAMBULATION OF THE ROYAL FOREST OF EXMOOR 2011 Route Instructions The boundary of the Royal Forest at the time of its sale in 1818 will be followed. The boundary will be followed mostly on its outside; as a result of fencing, it cannot be followed closely in all locations, but can usually be kept in view. About half of the route follows public rights of way, but it is possible to walk much of the route only with permission of the landowners concerned. It is important, therefore, to keep strictly to the route, which has been agreed with the landowners. The following detailed instructions and maps should assist with navigation over those sections of the route, which do not follow public rights of way. Walkers should not expect the boundary of the Royal Forest to be clearly defined. In practice, the boundary exists in several forms, e.g. as a wall proper, as an earth bank (with or without visible stones), as a bank topped by a hedge, as a post-and-wire fence, as a sunken track, or as a row of vertical boundary stones, some of which may have been uprooted and left horizontal. In some places, the form of the boundary has been completely obliterated. New fences and gates are legitimately erected by landowners and, whilst these route notes are up to date at the time of preparation, they may be slightly less so on the day of the walk. In most cases, a requirement to change direction is accompanied by an approximate heading. Walkers should use map and compass in conJunction with these notes.

  • The Exmoor Society Quiz No 5 – the Answers 1
    The Exmoor Society Quiz No 5 – The Answers 1. Grabbist Hill, Dunster. Grabbist Hill overlooks the village of Dunster, and is at the head of a ridge that runs west towards Wootton Courtenay and Dunkery. From this ridge, there are wonderful far-reaching views over the Bristol Channel to the north, and the Avill Valley to the south, with extensive footpaths and bridleways along the hill and into the combes. Grabbist is now well populated by trees, so there is little evidence of the "purple-headed mountain", unless this refers to Dunkery Beacon, on whose slopes the River Avill rises. Little remains of the site of the Iron Age hillfort, although the adjacent Giant’s Chair is still visible where our old friend, the Giant of Grabbist, likes to doze in the sun while he enjoying the view of Gallox Hill opposite. The area offers an important range of wildlife habitats, including that of the endangered heath fritillary butterfly. Grabbist is owned by the National Trust. 2. Samuel Taylor Coleridge – the Coleridge Way. Created in April 2005, the Coleridge Way originally ended at Porlock but in May 2014 a 15-mile extension to Lynmouth was launched. The Coleridge Way is now a 51mile/80km footpath in Somerset and Devon; the route links several sites associated with the romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge starting from the National Trust’s Coleridge Cottage at Nether Stowey and finishing in Lynmouth. 34 miles of this, from Nether Stowey to Exford, is bridleway but walkers can continue on from Lynmouth along the South West Coast Path to Lynton, Poets Corner in the Valley of Rocks and beyond.
