Horner Woods

Explore some of the finest oak woodlands in England as you follow the deep combes of Exmoor.

The route starts from the National Trust car park, takes you along the eastern side of Horner Water, then crosses the stream and takes you up to a viewpoint over the wooded valley. This is a stunning woodland walk, a bit longer than some of our other short walks, but it is an adventure not to be missed. Purchase a water and tear resistant route guide online or from an Exmoor National Park Centre.
