Festival Walks

The Somerset & Exmoor Coast Festival celebrates the joy of walking along our stunning coast.

With such a diverse coastline there is much to discover in terms of nature, geology and history and the benefits of walking are numerous in terms of our physical and mental health!

So why not join us for one of the 2024 walks and explore your interests and experience the health benefits yourself.

We are currently planning the 2024 walk programme. Once again we will be offering the opportunity to join us for an eight day walk along the entire coast of Somerset.

Alongside this, we'll have walks from out partners that explore some of the lesser known areas on the Somerset and Exmoor coast.

Walks for the 2024 Festival are being added all the time, keep checking back if you don't see what you're looking for yet
