Jarrold Pathfinder 9 - Exmoor
ISBN: 0-7117-0459-7
Exmoor National Park comprises 265 square miles (102 sq km), of which about two-thirds lie in west Somerset and the remaining third in north Devon. Its northern boundary is the Bristol Channel coast, stretching in a dramatic series of cliffs interrupted only by the Vale of Porlock, from North Hill above Minehead in the east to Little Hangman above Combe Martin in the west. Facing the Brendon Hills at its eastern frontier are the Quantocks, a distinctive broad-backed ridge almost 12 miles (19 km) long, which constitute a separate Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
This collection of walks ranges from the bare expanses of the Chains, the last real wilderness on Exmoor, to a picturesque riverside route along the Exe, from Badgworthy Water ('Lorna Doone Country') to a coastal walk taking in the spectacular Valley of the Rocks. It features the smallest church in England at Culbone and magnificent views from the highest point on the Quantocks, Wills Neck.
