View of Minehead from Coleridge Way

Coleridge Way

The Coleridge Way is 36 miles long and runs from Nether Stowey to Porlock but if that sounds like too much hard work, you can do shorter sections of it, along the most scenic parts of the route.

Coleridge Way

The Coleridge Way is a very long walk and is best done over the space of a few days.

If you don't have time, you can cheat and walk shorter sections of the route and still get plenty of enjoyment out of it with views of the Somerset coastline as far as Minehead.

This section was roughly four miles long and took about three hours to complete because it is hilly in places and some of the paths are muddy and rocky.

Taking you on this tour is Heidi Morse from West Quantoxhead who was involved in setting up the trail.

Holford to West Quantoxhead

Start at Holford Green car park

Walk towards the old dog pound, and go uphill along the main road which leads to Alfoxton Park

Walk through the grounds, along the main house, following the main path. There are views on the right of Hinkley Point power station

This main path leads onto the Quantock Hills along the Quantock Greenway for about three miles

Along this path there are views of Flatholme and Steepholme and as the path drops down into West Quantoxhead, there are views of St Audrey's Park

Follow the signposted route, which leads into the outskirts of West Quantoxhead
