Description
Great contrasts in a compact hiking area.
Exmoor features open moorland and steep coastal sections, alongside ancient woodlands and quiet river valleys. The book provides a selection that makes it easy to experience this variety on foot. It is well-suited as a companion for holidays where you desire short walks with varying content from day to day.
Fifteen walks to well-known and quieter locations.
The selection includes the views from Dunkery Beacon, the formations in the Valley of Rocks, and the historic river environment at Tarr Steps. Routes follow the coast, moors, and forests. They are designed as shorter excursions, allowing time for villages, local stops, and other experiences on the same day.
Maps and practical hiking information.
Each walk features Ordnance Survey maps and a route description to assist with junctions and path choices. Information on parking, transport, and eateries facilitates easier planning. GPX files are available from the publisher as a supplement, while photos and descriptions of sights provide an impression of what the various walks offer.
A good starting point for flexible hiking days.
Families and others seeking manageable walks are provided with a clear selection to choose from. Coast, forest, and higher moors offer various options depending on weather and season. Even on short walks, it is useful to consider ascent, terrain, and exposure, particularly along the coast and on open sections when the wind increases.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged among climbers and mountaineers who wanted to share thorough knowledge of their routes – a tradition that still characterizes these compact books for walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
