  • Somerset Geology-A Good Rock Guide
    SOMERSET GEOLOGY-A GOOD ROCK GUIDE Hugh Prudden The great unconformity figured by De la Beche WELCOME TO SOMERSET Welcome to green fields, wild flower meadows, farm cider, Cheddar cheese, picturesque villages, wild moorland, peat moors, a spectacular coastline, quiet country lanes…… To which we can add a wealth of geological features. The gorge and caves at Cheddar are well-known. Further east near Frome there are Silurian volcanics, Carboniferous Limestone outcrops, Variscan thrust tectonics, Permo-Triassic conglomerates, sediment-filled fissures, a classic unconformity, Jurassic clays and limestones, Cretaceous Greensand and Chalk topped with Tertiary remnants including sarsen stones-a veritable geological park! Elsewhere in Mendip are reminders of coal and lead mining both in the field and museums. Today the Mendips are a major source of aggregates. The Mesozoic formations curve in an arc through southwest and southeast Somerset creating vales and escarpments that define the landscape and clearly have influenced the patterns of soils, land use and settlement as at Porlock. The church building stones mark the outcrops. Wilder country can be found in the Quantocks, Brendon Hills and Exmoor which are underlain by rocks of Devonian age and within which lie sunken blocks (half-grabens) containing Permo-Triassic sediments. The coastline contains exposures of Devonian sediments and tectonics west of Minehead adjoining the classic exposures of Mesozoic sediments and structural features which extend eastward to the Parrett estuary. The predominance of wave energy from the west and the large tidal range of the Bristol Channel has resulted in rapid cliff erosion and longshore drift to the east where there is a full suite of accretionary landforms: sandy beaches, storm ridges, salt marsh, and sand dunes popular with summer visitors.

    02/05/2020 South West Coast Path 1 : Minehead to Porlock walk - SWC Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk South West Coast Path 1 : Minehead to Porlock walk SWCP Day 1 - Gentle introduction to the coast path, with rugged and tea room options. Length 14.1km / 8.7 miles OS Maps OS Explorer 9 (Exmoor) Toughness 4/10 - 408m of ascent - Good, waymarked paths with easy navigation - 1 steep hill. There is a more strenuous 'rugged' alternative Walk This is the relatively gentle start to the South West Cost Path (SWCP). There is a choice between a long ridge walk over Notes North Hill with views across the Sea to Wales, and inland to Dunkery Beacon, or a more rugged alternative route along the cliffs. The 2 routes combine in picturesque Bossington with a noted tea room, before crossing Porlock Bay to Porlock Weir which has a good pub to finish it. There is a good year round bus service between the start and finish. From Minehead (shops, pubs, bus, coaches, heritage rail - not National Rail) the walk follows the seafront, and climbs North Hill, which has good views inland, and over the sea to Wales. As mentioned above, there are 2 alternatives paths. The gentle high path along the top of the hill to Selworthy Beacon, or the "rugged" path which contours around the side of the cliffs. Its more dramatic, but more strenuous (6 km, 219m ascent). Both paths are marked on the OS map At Selworthy Beacon, there is a recommended option for 'high route walkers' - head south, downhill to Allerford, a chocolate box National Trust village which has a NT tea room with a garden with a stunning view.

  • Moor to Enjoy Toolkit
    Visiting Exmoor for Health & Wellbeing How Are You? There is growing scientific evidence to demonstrate the mental, emotional and physical benefits of spending time in the natural environment and ‘green space’. Studies show improvements in mood and mental health, as well as an increase in physical activity which can help protect us from many illnesses and diseases. Visiting Exmoor National Park provides the perfect opportunity for you increase your sense of wellbeing. It's medically proven that people who do regular physical activity have: l up to a 35% lower risk of coronary heart disease and stroke l up to a 50% lower risk of type 2 diabetes l up to a 50% lower risk of colon cancer l up to a 20% lower risk of breast cancer l a 30% lower risk of early death l up to an 83% lower risk of osteoarthritis l up to a 68% lower risk of hip fracture l a 30% lower risk of falls (among older adults) l up to a 30% lower risk of depression l up to a 30% lower risk of dementia Improving both physical health and mental health. We know that physical and mental health are intrinsically linked, and visits to Exmoor can help you improve your physical condition as well. Research demonstrates that people are much more likely to be physically active when they come into ‘green space’, and regular visits can help you achieve the guidelines for physical activity. Often people struggle to discipline themselves to complete structured forms of exercise such as going to the gym, but doing something fun like going on a picturesque walk with friends can get their fitness level up without them even noticing! Such ‘green’ forms of exercise also have mental health benefits associated with being outside and in contact with nature.
