The Somerset and Exmoor Coast Festival is a celebration of our unique and diverse coastline bringing together walking, music, the arts, food and flavours, performance and a host of activities that showcase this coast of surprises.
At its heart is a Walking Festival that celebrates the entire coast of Somerset with walks exploring everything from the iron ore railway in the Brendon Hills to coastal castles, the wreck of the Nornen and the opportunity to listen to poems inspired by the Somerset coast, while you walk.
Alongside this activities for visitors include the Somerset Art Weeks Open Studios and the Disabled Ramblers Quantock Ramble week. You’ll find everything from music to cream teas, craft gin to glorious sunsets, and performances to Porlock Bay oysters – all in truly beautiful surroundings.
A rich mixture of landscape, geology, wildlife and history … often overlooked, but never to be underestimated, this path is a joy.
