20 of the best dog walks in Somerset
The circular routes in this book, varying in length from 1¾ to 5½ miles, are designed especially with dogs and dog walkers in mind. Here you'll find what we reckon to be the best dog-friendly walks across Somerset.
All routes maximise off-lead time and minimise exposure to roads, while giving owners the chance to see Somerset's beautiful countryside - from woodland to seaside and everywhere in between.
Highlights include:
- Walks across the open moorland of Exmoor and the Quantocks
- Strolls through the Mendip and Blackdown Hills
-
Tarr Steps in the Barle Valley, where dogs can investigate woodland and river banks
- Seaside scrambles at Kilve Beach
- Running free on the open downland of Dolebury Warren with its ancient hill fort and stunning views; and the site of the medieval castle at Castle Cary
All the walks include details of:
- Livestock and stiles
- Distance and terrain
- Recommended dog-friendly refreshment stops
- Contact details for the nearest vets
- Where to park
