The Coleridge Way

Please note that all distances shown are approximate.

The Coleridge Way is a 36 mile walk through the Somerset countryside, taking in the Quantock Hills, the Brendon Hills and Exmoor. This is the landscape that inspired the poet Samuel Coleridge to produce some of his best known work.

The walk begins in Nether Stowey, where Coleridge lived for three years and takes you through a variety of landscapes. The route to Roadwater takes you through deciduous & coniferous woodland, farmland and wooded valleys. From Roadwater there is more heathland and moorland with great views over to the North Somerset Coast and Wales.

The Coleridge Way can be completed over three or four walking days, making it an ideal short break.

If you would like a longer walking holiday the Coleridge Way links up with the South West Coast Path at Porlock. Please contact us for a qoute
