Ellicombe Manor is nestled in the beautiful Exmoor National Park within easy walking distance of both the coastal town of Minehead and the medieval village of Dunster and its imposing castle. The area has been a popular tourist destination since the arrival of the steam train, that still serves the area, and so it is unsurprising that it is now the perfect staging post for a holiday no matter the weather or how adventurous you are feeling…
Beaches
Minehead and Dunster Beach are on the doorstep for a long dog walk or a splash in the surf but for the more adventurous there are hidden beaches tucked all along the coastline for rock-pooling, fossil hunting, crabbing or wild swimming.
Walking
As we are based in the National Park and a stone throw from the start of the famous South West Coastal Trail; it is no surprise that the area is criss-crossed with walks to suit all abilities and ages offering stunning vistas. Come and chat to us and we can help you discover some of our favourite spots.
Cycling
Whether it be mountain biking, road biking or hybrid Exmoor provides some of the most challenging and rewarding experiences in the country.
