The Brendon Hills to the coast
This page covers
the area between the A396 and the A358, including Minehead, Dunster and
Watchet, south to Luxborough, Roadwater and the B3224. This area takes in the rolling hills of the
northern Brendons, the extensive woodlands around historic Dunster, and the
relatively low-lying coast between Minehead and Watchet. The landscape is less dramatic than that of
high Exmoor to the west, but it still makes for some scenic walking and
interesting exploring. Routes are
generally moderate (or easy near the coast), and away from Dunster and the
sea they are usually quiet. Click the walk name
to download the route. Read the walk safety information, and click for a key to the symbols used on the sketch maps in the instructions. 71 Around Watchet ♦ 5.5 mile circular 72 Watchet to Minehead ♦♦ 7.7 mile linear, bus or train connection 73 Minehead, Dunster and the
