Walking in Somerset is fun

With over 6000km of public bridleways and paths through ancient woodland, along dramatic coastlines and across heather moorland, walking in Somerset is amongst the best in England.

There are riverside walks and canal paths to explore, as well as rolling hills, wetlands and bustling harbours which means families, casual strollers and hardened hikers will all find walking in Somerset to suit them.

Add wild ponies, picturesque villages, historic monuments, and world class local produce served in quaint cafes and thatched pubs, and you’ve got the consummate county to discover and explore in any way you choose.
