Somerset Strolls: Coastal Paths, Rolling Hills, and Levels Adventures for Your Dog!

Explore the captivating county of Somerset with your canine companion, a region of remarkable contrasts, from its extensive coastline and the wild beauty of Exmoor National Park to the distinctive landscapes of the Somerset Levels and Moors and four Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty – the Quantock Hills, Mendip Hills, and Blackdown Hills. Somerset offers a fantastic array of walking experiences for every dog and owner.

Discover the miles of coastal paths and dog-friendly beaches, such as the vast sandy stretches of Brean Beach or the scenic shores around Minehead, the starting point of the South West Coast Path. Venture into Exmoor National Park for invigorating moorland hikes to spots like Dunkery Beacon, or explore the enchanting ancient woodland walks around Tarr Steps. The Quantock Hills AONB, England's first, provides heathland and woodland trails with superb views, while the Mendip Hills AONB offer dramatic gorges like Cheddar Gorge (cliff-top paths) and fascinating cave systems.

For a unique experience, explore the flat, atmospheric landscapes of the Somerset Levels and Moors, perhaps taking in the iconic Glastonbury Tor for panoramic views. Numerous country parks like Ham Hill Country Park and National Trust properties such as Dunster Castle (grounds) and Fyne Court offer well-maintained paths through beautiful scenery. Remember to always follow the Countryside Code, keeping your dog under control, especially around livestock and wildlife which is prevalent across Somerset's diverse habitats.
