Exmoor is wonderful walking country for both long distance ramblers and people who enjoy walking shorter distances just to enjoy the scenery. There are over 680 miles of official footpaths and bridleways on Exmoor, including the South West Coast Path and the Two Moors Way. Guided walks are frequently arranged by National Park Rangers, details of which are available at any of the visitor centres around the moor. Another long distance path just opened is the Coleridge Way, which runs from Nether Stowey to Porlock, linking the Quantock Hills with Exmoor .
