Tips

Katherine Moore

Mountain biking

Here's the climb from Exford village to the top of Dunkery Beacon, the highest point on Exmoor (and in Somerset) from Exford village. There's a steep lane leading to the bridleway that goes up through the fields - beware it can be very sloppy in the winter! Near the tops past the gates it gets more rocky as you approach the cairn summit.

A tough old grind to the top but well worth it as you summit the beacon
