Embark on the Dunkery Beacon & Stoke Pero loop, a moderate hike that takes you through the diverse landscapes of Exmoor National Park. You will cover 9.1 miles (14.6 km) and gain 1111 feet (339 metres) in elevation, typically taking around 4 hours and 10 minutes to complete. The route offers a mix of open moorland, where heather blooms, and sheltered woodlands, leading you to the panoramic views from Dunkery Beacon Summit, the highest point in Somerset.
When planning your visit, be aware that the trail features varied terrain, including stony, muddy, and uneven sections. You will encounter some steep ascents and descents, as well as shallow fords and a mix of gravel and rough paths underfoot. Sturdy walking boots with good ankle support are highly recommended to navigate these conditions comfortably and safely.
This loop provides a rewarding experience for hikers with good fitness levels, showcasing the natural beauty of the region. On a clear day, the views from Dunkery Beacon extend across the Bristol Channel, offering a memorable vista. The path also winds past the serene Nutscale Reservoir and through parts of Horner Woods, adding to the varied scenery you will enjoy.
