Walking in Somerset
Explore the beauty of the Somerset countryside.
Bridge House lies at the foot of Ham Hill Country Park, which is the start of the iconic 28 mile Liberty Trail, a walking route dating from 1685, leading to the coast at Lyme Regis. The walk meanders through West Chinnock, Haselbury Plucknett, Misterton, Wayford, Winsham, Forde Abbey, Thorncombe and Lambert's Castle Hillfort before arriving in Lyme Regis. During its course the Liberty Trail meets and shares sections with other long distance footpaths including the Monarch's Way, River Parrett Trail, Jubilee Trail and Wessex Ridgeway.
The diverse Somerset countryside makes for varied and wonderful walking, whether you enjoy the beauty of the Somerset Levels or the more demanding terrain of the Quantocks, Mendips, Blackdown Hills and Exmoor. The beautiful North Devon Coast (1 ½ hours) is matched by the stunning southern Jurassic Coast, which is only 30 mins away. Take your pick!
