Walk and Talk in Spring

27 Apr–1 May 2026 (Mon–Fri)

Come and join us to walk in this glorious part of Devon. Daily walks in a variety of areas will cover the stunningly dramatic coastline, river valleys and moors of Exmoor. We’ll begin the day with a short time of prayer and worship, followed by a choice of three walks: long (9–12 miles), medium (6–8 miles) and short (4–5 miles). The geography of this beautiful landscape means most walks will have some steep ascent and descent. Bring good walking footwear, appropriate clothing, rain gear and a small rucksack and water bottle for your packed lunch. We may need to share lifts to reach the walk start and end points.
