Horner Woods and Horner Water

Notes and points of interest

Horner Water this pretty stream runs down from Exmoor and out to the sea at Bossington. This walk follows the stream through an attractive woodland setting.

Horner Wood is part of theDunkery and Horner Wood National nature Reserve and is managed by the National Trust. Apart from the natural beauties of this area, the woods contain a number of remains from Saxon settlements.

Pentley Seat a semi-circular stone seat that is worth a brief diversion both for the seat itself and for the view it commands. The seat was erected by his wife to the memory of Charles Thomas Dyke Ackland, who dies in 1919.

Viewpoint just prior to Pentley Seat diversion This viewpoint offers a well-framed view of the Bristol Channel and the Welsh Coast seen between the ridges of Crawter Hill and Selworthy Hill.

Ray Combe this valley side section of the walk takes you through a thick woodland of unusually twisted oaks
