Somerset – Walks With Olly

Exploring Shoulsbury Castle: Exmoor

Sunday 7th January 2024

This would be my first big walk of 2024 and one that would remain in my memory for some time. In all my years of roaming across Exmoor, I like to think I’ve covered most of it…

Somerset Levels: Creech St. Michael

Sunday 13th March 2022

This would be my final walk before my trip to Snowdonia – which I look forward to start writing about soon. There would be no mountains on this outing, as I drove down to the Somerset Levels, just outside of Taunton. Another route taken from the Walk West series of eBooks.

Finding Exmoor’s ‘How’ Cairns

Searching for the Joaney How and Robin How cairns on Exmoor and not far from Dunkery Beacon.

Tuesday 24th August 2021

This would be my final walk of a three-day weekend down on Exmoor, ahead of my final night of camping at Halse Farm. I drove to Webber’s Post for the beginning of this one. I’d been up Dunkery Beacon many times but for now, I wanted to find a couple of named cairns from the OS Map.

Withypool and crossing the River Barle

Monday 23rd August 2021

This walk was the main reason for which I chose my particular campsite just off of Winsford Hill on Exmoor. It was to be a repeat of a walk I did with two friends back in January 2019.
