Overview
Overview
Most of our walkers choose to book multi-centre walking holidays on our trails, walking on to a new overnight location every night. However you may prefer to stay in one or perhaps two locations only rather than moving on every day.

One Centre Breaks on Exmoor, the UK’s smallest National Park. This offers 250 square miles of dramatic and varied landscapes, from high moorland to rugged coastline. At its heart lies Lynmouth, the ideal base for a walking holiday. Officially designated a Walkers are Welcome town, Lynmouth provides direct access to spectacular trails and has excellent facilities, a picturesque harbour, and easy access to its twin village of Lynton via the charming cliff railway. This region is rich in natural and literary heritage. Walkers can enjoy wild moorlands, wooded valleys, roaring rivers, and coastal cliffs, with highlights including the Valley of the Rocks, Great Hangman (the highest point on the 630-mile South West Coast Path), and the peaceful harbour at Porlock Weir. There are four main walking routes from Lynmouth, catering to a variety of distances and interests. 1. Two Moors Way: Finish this long-distance route with a dramatic descent from Exe Head to sea level through moorland and ancient woodland. 2. South West Coast Path Day 3: Hike over Great Hangman and through Heddon’s Mouth valley, ending at the Valley of the Rocks. 3. South West Coast Path Day 2: Begin at Porlock Weir for a remote section of coast, including Culbone—the smallest church in England. 4. Coleridge Way: Walk in the Romantic poets' footsteps from Oare Church down the secluded Brendon Valley, tracing a stream that becomes a rushing gorge. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or a casual explorer, Lynmouth makes the perfect hub for discovering Exmoor’s wild beauty.
