Walkers Are Welcome Towns - Stowey (Nether & Over)

Both Nether Stowey and Over Stowey lie at the foot of the stunning Quantock Hills in West Somerset.

The name Stowey comes from the Old English for ‘paved road’ which is fitting for the villages having welcomed walkers for hundreds of years. .

Day 40 of my #Walk2023Miles challenge supporting #TrussellTrust another stunning day for an 11 mile circuit from County Gate through Doone Country and across Brendon Common to Shilstone & Rockford before returning on the Coleridge Way #StopUKHunger #BootsOnMiles #ColeridgeWay #ExmoorWalks

Today's contribution to #WaymarkerWednesday is the Coleridge Way a fifty mile route from Nether Stowey to Lynmouth linking locations associated with the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge #ColeridgeWay

Since 2005, Nether Stowey has been the starting point of The Coleridge Way, a 51 mile trail across the Quantocks and the Brendon Hills and onto Exmoor, finishing at Lynmouth Harbour.

What better way to explore the beautiful unspoilt Somerset landscape and meet the local people than to walk across it as Coleridge himself did.
