1. Doone Valley

Reviewed By shanes236 - Northamptonshire, United Kingdom
We took the drive from Porlock to Oare and back to Brendon where we stopped for lunch and had a walk afterwards. With scenery which includes beautiful old bridges(robbers bridge)and the stream which seemed to be in every village we visited,the Doone Valley is a pleasant alternative to the A39. The entire area,which I had never heard of until shortly before we left,really impressed us all and it is highly likely we will revisit later in the week. Visited 9th July 2018.

We parked at the car park opposite the tea room, walked down the hill to just before the lay-by and followed the footpath sign. The walk is a little rocky and steep in places so bear in mind if walking is difficult. But it’s worth the effort. Along the stream, under trees, passed the old ruins of the mill / rock carvings and up/ down to the valley and sea. We came back going up to the top, and along the sea path to the parking. Views are spectacular.

Small woods.. beautiful wild flowers and everyone gets involved in the climbing because the trees that fell down (in 1987 storm) are still down.. very quiet and peaceful place.. we walked all around and did no more than 2 miles.. I think that they used to be huge but housing has forced a reduction in size.. worth a visit.. free car park.. dogs allowed.. nice couple of hours to spend..

This is a beautiful place, the scenery is awesome and well worth the trip. We visited on a wonderful sunny day. If you come here be sure to also visit Blea Tarn a few miles along the same road. Wonderful to be alive
7. North Hill and Hawks Tor circular walk
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 5 reviews
A circular walk along prehistoric trade routes in the Lynher valley from the village of North Hill where the granite was quarried to build Westminster Bridge.
Reviewed By D3599DKmarks - Tonbridge, United Kingdom
My wife and I completed this walk today, during a break in the autumn high wind and heavy rain. There was plenty of evidence of both these forces of nature all around us L. We were treated to bright sunshine and far reaching views across to Dartmoor. Wellies are a must at the moment as the mud is very deep as you approach Hawk’s Tor on the path from the Kilmar Tor side. Beautiful autumn colours. It’s quite a climb up the Lynher valley onto the moor (we completed it clockwise) Well worth the effort.
