Walk Exmoor, David and Carol Hill - 'I do not know of any other
comparable area where such wildness and such softness are so closely
interwoven.' J H B Peel's 'Portrait of Exmoor'. It's this striking
contrast and variety of intertwined landscapes which gives Exmoor its
remarkable appeal and offers such a richly rewarding and stimulating area
for adventurous walkers. There's wildness on the desolate moorland plateau
and along the rugged cliff tops, both of which offer an expansive feel and
miles of fine distant views. One of the joys of Exmoor is the seemless,
flowing connection between moors and cliffs, whilst at the same time,
cutting through them, are winding valleys that provide a more gentle,
intimate landscape. All 40 walking routes
include: route summary, ratings for Effort Time Distance
Ascents/Descents Refreshments and Vertigo risk, fully detailed walk
description including frequent timings to aid navigation, GPS waypoints
for pin-point navigational accuracy, full colour Ordnance Survey
mapping, short walk and stroll alternatives. Published April 06
