The full Castles & Coast Way is 13 miles or 21km, but we have divided it into two loops that join in Stogursey.
The Castles loop starts at Nether Stowey Castle and takes you over the hills to Stogursey Castle and church. There are fantastic views inland to the Quantock Hills, west to Exmoor and across the Severn Estuary to Wales.
The Coast loop takes in the England Coast Path between Lilstock and Hinkley Point with stunning views of the Severn Estuary. Turning inland it passes through the old Acland-Hood Estate to Stogursey before returning to the coast through the village of Shurton.
Distance: 13 miles/21km
