The walks take you across the lush valleys and rolling hills of Exmoor, with glimpses of Dunkery Beacon and the Bristol Channel along the way.
One route focuses on peaceful countryside just outside Minehead, while the other includes a visit into the town itself, where you can enjoy shops, cafés, and pubs for a well-earned break.
