It is approximately 187km/117miles long if the route is strictly followed, but in some Lynmouth places there are good or bad weather alternatives and it is unlikely that you will be 14 able to resist diversions to visit places of interest nearby. So be prepared for a South West Coast Path South West Coast Path & Tarka Trail somewhat longer walk. Take it slowly and enjoy yourself.
l 13 e The terrain is varied with stretches of open moor, deep wooded river valleys, green n n Simonsbath a h lanes and minor roads. Much of the route is hilly, so the distances you plan to walk B C Barnstaple 12 ol Exmoor National Park must take this into account. Though an active rambler may be able to complete the rist Tarka Trail walk in a few days, the majority will need longer, even a full fortnight, especially if the 11 Exe Valley Way richness of the countryside, its antiquities, churches and many other historic West Anstey buildings, as well as its panoramic views, are all to be appreciated.
