Dunkery Beacon is a classic Exmoor walk with open moorland, a steady climb and wide-reaching views. This route heads up to the highest point on Exmoor and in Somerset, where a Bronze Age barrow adds a clear landmark at the summit.
The ground is currently noted as uneven, with trails, hills and some field sections. Streams near the start can leave the route muddy, so it is worth coming prepared for wet or boggy patches underfoot. There are no stiles currently noted for this route.
No livestock is currently noted for this route, but please check local signs and keep dogs under close control around fields or open land. Off-lead walking is currently noted as generally permitted, but please follow local signs and keep dogs close where needed. Parking is noted nearby, but please check local signage when you arrive.
