🥾 Trip Description
Exmoor is best explored on foot, with a network of ancient paths crossing moorland, woodland, valleys, and high coastal cliffs. Over the weekend, we experience the full breadth of the national park, moving through distinctly different landscapes on each day and seeing how dramatically the scenery changes.
Our base for the weekend is an exclusively hired eco-hostel deep within Exmoor, surrounded by open moorland and hills, we also have our own private woodland and fire pit. Its remote setting, reached by a long private driveway, provides a rare sense of isolation and quiet, making it an ideal base for exploring this wild landscape.
The walking is varied rather than technical, combining steady climbs, undulating coastal paths, and gentler valley routes. There is time to stop, take in views, and observe wildlife, with the chance of spotting red deer, ponies, and birdlife along the way.
Across the three days, the routes balance challenge and enjoyment, offering a rewarding introduction to Exmoor’s natural character, from ancient oak woodland and rivers to exposed moorland summits and rugged coastline.

Our route follows the River Barle as it meanders through ancient oak woodland towards Tarr Steps, with a rich variety of mosses, lichens and wildlife, and babbling waters that are home to otters, salmon and trout.

Every inch of this trail winds along the undulating shore, treating us to stunning panoramic ocean views framed by the jagged coastline. There is also a high chance of spotting feral goats along the route.
We return to the hostel for a relaxed barbecue and time to socialise as evening settles over the Exmoor landscape.

• Distance: 10km (7 miles)

It’s a varied landscape of moorland and woodland, crossed by small streams and open clearings.

• Pass Birling Gap and the iconic Belle Tout Lighthouse
• Finish in Eastbourne — England’s sunniest town
• Explore the South Downs National Park — the newest in the UK🥾 Hike Description
This is Outdooraholics’ most popular hike, a dramatic and exhilarating journey across the chalk cliffs of Sussex that we have been leading for over 12 years. The Seven Sisters are a spectacular series of gleaming white chalk cliffs formed at the end of the last Ice Age by glacial meltwater. Erosion has since created an “eighth sister,” and today the cliffs stand as one of England’s most iconic landscapes.We begin in the coastal town of Seaford, home to a Napoleonic-era Martello Tower built in 1810 as part of a chain of 103 coastal defences against French invasion. From here, the trail climbs onto the cliff tops, where for much of the day we walk high above the sea, treated to endless coastal views and fresh sea air.
Our route follows the South Downs Way, passing through Birling Gap and past the striking Belle Tout Lighthouse, famously moved 17 metres inland in 1999 to save it from falling into the sea. The final highlight is Beachy Head, a dramatic beauty spot with sheer chalk cliffs dropping into the sea below.
We finish in Eastbourne, statistically England’s sunniest town, where we celebrate our coastal adventure with refreshments in a local pub.

There are sheer drops off the cliffs and some of these soft chalk cliffs are crumbling at the edges with chunks regularly falling and no fencing in place. Please keep at least 3 metres away from the edges. If you fall, or the ground at the edge of the cliff collapses it will almost certainly be fatal.© Outdooraholics Hiking UK Ltd 2026 E & OE

Our journey begins in the historic village of Meopham, reputedly the longest village in England, stretching for 11km with two medieval greens. From the northern end we pass one of these greens before delving into a landscape of rolling chalk downland, with its patchwork of pastures, hedgerows and ancient woodland.At the southern end of Meopham we pause at the second green to admire Killick’s Windmill, a rare 19th-century smock mill, and to take in the traditional village atmosphere — perhaps even a cricket match on the green. (Michael Gambon, of Dumbledore fame, also lived here.)
From here our route leads into quiet North Downs valleys, where wildlife thrives and chalk grasslands give way to pockets of shady woodland. The trail takes us through the charming old town of Cobham, rich in heritage, before we enter Camer Park, a former estate with sweeping meadows and centuries-old trees.

From here the trail rejoins the River Arun, where we follow its picturesque bends with ever-closer views of Arundel Castle looming above the town.
