The South West Coast Path National Trail is one of the top walks to be found anywhere in the world.Where else can you walk along 630 miles of such superb coastline? The heritage, wildlife, geology and scenery along the way are truly inspirational and every day walking it brings stunning new experiences.Whether you are looking for an afternoon stroll to take you to a beauty spot, or to embark on the challenge of hiking their entire route from Somerset's Minehead on the edge of Exmoor around to the shores of Poole Harbour in Dorset, or something in between, you’ve come to the right place.

I met friends for a walk. I was a first timer. I was staggered by the beauty and by the great state I found the place; clean and well cared for. Loved it.
2. South West Coast Path - Culver Cliff Woodland Walk
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 96 reviews
An invigorating 1.3 mile climb on the South West Coast Path through mixed woodland, rich in wildlife and with magnificent views out across the Bristol Channel. The return route drops gently downhill along a Victorian drive built by the Luttrells of Dunster Castle. There is an optional adventurous detour for keen geologists if the tide is low.

Beautiful views and wonderful countryside, there are dozens of footpaths that lead upto and around North Hill from Culvercilff. The going is a little steep in places but manageable by taking rest at the numerous benches.

Easy, pretty flat walks to be had from a number of car parks from North Hill to Selworthy Beacon, all accessible from the road up from Minehead. Panoramic views across to south Wales and the north Somerset coast as well as inland and along the coast to the west (at Selworthy Beacon). There's also a small iron-age hill fort (Bury castle) to the SE of Selworthy Beacon. No toilets (that I noticed) or shops, etc.

We have visited Minehead regularly over the years for short breaks and always make a point of walking in Blenheim Gardens to see the lovely flower beds and trees . The gardens are a credit to the local council especially when resources are limited and also to the staff who obviously take great pride in their work and the resulting facility.

Reviewed By tinadewberry - Dorset, United Kingdom
We had an amazing weekend celebrating a birthday.We were lucky enough to be upgraded for free from a twin chalet to a 4 birth apartment.This meant we had lots of extra space including a lounge,kitchen/dinner.Lots of great bands all weekend as well as silent discos,comedy show,swimming and plenty of restaurants/dinners to choose from. Only downfall was that our apartment was tricky to find when first arriving and it was up 3 flights of outdoor steps,difficult to manouvere with heavy bags. However this was over ruled by the qaulity of entertainment ,to the point that we rebooked for later in the year
