A scenic view of a lush green forest on a hillside with a clear blue sky and calm sea in the background. The foreground features various trees and plants, while the dense forest stretches towards the horizon. A small harbor filled with various boats, including yachts and motorboats, tied to docks or anchored in shallow, calm waters. A stone tower stands at the entrance to the harbor under a partly cloudy blue sky. A group of ten people posing cheerfully on a wooden bridge surrounded by lush, green forest. Some members of the group are making playful gestures, and everyone appears to be enjoying the outdoor environment. The bridge crosses over a small stream. A stone arch bridge in a wooded area with sunlight filtering through the trees. The bridge has moss growing on its surface, and a dirt path runs underneath it, leading further into the forest. Leaves and branches frame the scene from above. A group of eight people wearing athletic gear stand on a sunny trail in a green countryside landscape. Some have backpacks and are holding maps. They are gathered in a semi-circle, talking, with rolling hills and a clear blue sky in the background. Two brown horses stand on a grassy hillside under a clear blue sky. The horse in the foreground gazes towards the camera, while the one in the background grazes. The landscape includes rolling green fields and distant hills. A group of people wearing athletic gear hike up a rocky and shaded forest trail. They are surrounded by dense greenery and large rock walls. The trail surface appears rough and natural. Sunlight filters through the leaves above.

Organiser's Description

This event is approximately a 21-mile trail run making its way along 10 miles of undulating SW Coast path, under shaded woods, towards Porlock Weir, where you will have time to refresh, refill water and enjoy an ice cream on the sea front.


A steep ascent will follow, offering glimpses of Porlock Bay through the ancient woodland, before we join the Coleridge Way and start the 11 miles back through the Doone Valley to County Gate, where Exmoor ponies can often be seen grazing on the moors.


Finally, the run will end at Watersmeet House, where you are welcome to celebrate with a drink or cake in the tea garden (not included). This will be a fairly challenging 21-mile run with approx 4700ft of elevation, but the group will walk the hills, stay together and stop for many photos along the way.


Note, this is a trail run and not a hike, there will be hiking involved but the focus is on running at an easy conversational pace.

The route was spectacular, sea views, moorland, fields and forest. It had it all. The pace was nice and relaxed with loads of time to take pictures and enjoy the views. Will definitely be looking to book more of their events. 10/10
