- Dog Notes:
The coastal paths to Hurlstone Point in Somerset are suitable for fit and agile dogs that are accustomed to challenging terrain. However, extreme caution is needed due to unfenced cliff edges and steep drops – dogs MUST be kept on leads and under very close control at all times for their safety. Be aware of grazing livestock (Exmoor ponies and sheep are common) on the heathland sections. This is a strenuous walk for dogs, so ensure they are capable and carry plenty of water for them. This Somerset walk requires responsible dog ownership.
