Exmoor and the Quantocks Summary

Exmoor and the Quantocks by John Earle

Exmoor is one of our smallest National Parks but one not lacking in variety and interest. From the moors around Simonsbath to the wild coastline of the Bristol Channel it is a place to explore. Here is ancient Dunster, romantic Badgworthy Water with its echoes of Lorna Doone, and the ever-popular Watersmeet. The often neglected Quantocks are also included in this guide. The walking is less strenuous than on Dartmoor and is suitable for all the family. 44 circular tours are described. Each walk is graded by length and difficulty of terrain, the climbing involved and the map reading and navigation skills needed. The author has grouped the walks into four areas of Exmoor with the Brendons and the Quantocks as two other additional sections: The North-west Moor, The North-east Moor, The Southern Moor, The Brendons, The North Coast and The Quantocks. The main roads are used as the boundaries.
