The Dunster Estate’s gently rolling countryside, diverse mix of landscapes and spectacular viewpoints make it ideal for walking.

Waymarked Walking Trails
There is a variety of different walks, ranging from our all abilities access Tall Trees trail, to access to long distance routes, such as the Macmillan Way. In addition to the many miles of Public Rights of Way that cross the estate, there is also a 14.5 mile network of waymarked walking trails which we have designed to help you to see the best bits of the Dunster Forest. Walks can be accessed from Dunster, or via our car park at Nutcombe Bottom.
