Hiking route
· United Kingdom
A challenging day of walking brings you past the Culbone Church and across the border from Somerset into Devon.
difficult
Distance 18 km
Start off with an invigorating climb up to the Yearnor Wood as you leave the sleepy harbour of Porlock Weir behind. This is followed by a steady meander through thick oak trees which lead you to Culbone Church. The path then divides allowing you to decide between the main southern trail leading onto open farmland or the northern path through the thick woodland of Culbone Wood. No matter which route you choose it will be a day of invigorating walking.
