Nature FeaturesYou are in: Somerset > Nature > Nature Features > Coleridge Way ![]() Coleridge WayThe 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.
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.
