A week of summer walking with Halsway Manor as your base.

Halsway Manor is situated in the heart of the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with direct footpath access to open moorland and views to the Brendon Hills and Exmoor and endless opportunities for varied walking in stunning, unspoiled landscapes. Our friendly local guides – Nan Ward, Roger Phipps, and Roger Conway – all share a deep love of the area, and will offer a choice of 3 walks each day tailored to the needs of the group: 6 miles, 6-8 miles, and 8 miles. Walks will be explained the evening before so you can choose the route that will best suit you. A reasonable fitness level is required – even short walks may include steep climbs – and appropriate clothing and footwear is essential. Car sharing will be necessary for some of the walks. There will be a programme of informal evening entertainment, details on arrival.

Enjoy the area, bring a friend, share a room, & save money

You can book on a course at Halsway and bring a friend who can explore the area while using Halsway as a base for meals and accommodation. Halsway Manor is in the Quantock Hills (England’s first designated National Landscape (formally AONB). We’re just minutes away from the West Somerset Railway (Britain's longest steam railway), a short drive or bus ride from Somerset’s Jurassic coast (ideal for fossil hunting), and surrounded by dramatic scenery and changing landscapes, from the wild hills of Exmoor to the flat expanse of the Somerset Levels.
