Where to Go

ZEALES

on the edge of Exmoor

ZEALES is conveniently situated for a variety of activities and visits.

For the energetic - the challenge of walking or cycling on Exmoor itself attracts a fair number of visitors. Whatever the weather Exmoor produces some of the most breath taking sites imaginable and with the freedom of walking or cycling the choice of viewpoint is yours for the taking.

For the slightly less energetic there are many more structured walks - the well know”Tarka Trail” is suitable for people of all ages and levels of fitness, with cycles available for hire from a number of locations. Alternatively here are many pre-tested walks of varying distances, usually starting and finishing at a suitable hostelry! Details of all these walks are available from Zeales.
