Walking Holidays in Devon

Step Outside. Beathe Deeply. Start Walking.

There’s something wonderfully grounding about a walking holiday in Devon. The slower pace. The open skies. The miles of rolling countryside waiting to be explored.

Our holiday home is perfectly positioned for Devon walking breaks, with beautiful countryside routes directly from the doorstep and iconic landscapes within easy reach. Whether you're planning a midweek rambling escape, an off-peak hiking holiday, or a reunion with your walking group, The Elms is the ideal base.

Explore Exmoors' Most Spectacular Walking Landscapes

Exmoor National Park - Wild moorland and coastal drama.

A short drive away, Exmoor offers some of the finest walking in the South West. Think sweeping moorland, wooded valleys, riverside trails and dramatic coastal paths. Whether your group prefers steady scenic hikes or more challenging full-day routes, Exmoor delivers unforgettable views in every season.

Ideal for:

Coastal path walking holidays
Moorland hikes
Year round rambling breaks

Quantock Hills – Rolling Hills & Panoramic Views

As England’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Quantocks are a dream for walkers. Heathland ridges, wooded combes and far-reaching views across the Bristol Channel make this a fantastic destination for circular day walks and varied terrain.

Perfect for:

Group hiking weekends
Scenic ridge walks
Gentle but rewarding countryside routes

Accommodation Designed for Walking Groups

After a full day exploring Devon’s countryside, comfort truly matters.

Our spacious holiday home is particularly suited to walking groups and rambling clubs:

Three zip-and-link bedrooms – flexible super king or twin set-ups to suit your group
Two en-suite bedrooms for added privacy
Two additional double rooms, including one on the ground floor
Space to gather, plan the next day’s route, and relax together

The flexibility of sleeping arrangements makes organising group stays simple — whether you’re a mixed group, couples, or friends sharing.

After the walk

There’s a particular kind of contentment that only comes after a day spent walking in the Devon countryside.

Boots kicked off by the door. Cheeks flushed from fresh air. That deep, satisfying ache in well-walked legs.

Sink into the warm bubbles of the hot tub as dusk settles over the fields, letting tired muscles soften under the evening sky. Watch the light fade. Breathe it all in. Feel the miles gently drift away.

Or gather everyone around the large table, maps unfolded, glasses topped up, retracing the day’s highlights — the unexpected view, the hidden footpath, the climb that was worth every step.

In the cooler months, there’s nothing better than returning from Exmoor or Dartmoor to the glow of a log fire. The gentle crackle of flames. The warmth creeping back into your hands. That slow, easy conversation that only comes when no one needs to rush anywhere.

Active days. Restorative evenings.
The perfect rhythm for a Devon walking escape.

Midweek dates and shoulder season breaks offer quieter trails, better availability, and the very best of Devon on foot.
