UPDATE 30th January 2025 following Storm Darragh:
Our staff are still out working hard, checking and clearing rights of way across Exmoor after damage caused by #StormDarragh in December 2024. Due to the scale of the damage, many paths in wooded areas remain blocked by fallen trees and may have trees still in a dangerous condition.
The South West Coast Path on Exmoor is now completely open between Minehead and Combe Martin thanks to the tremendous work done by the Exmoor National Park Field Services Team & Rangers and the National Trust Rangers. The Coleridge Way between Porlock and Monksilver is now open but all other wooded sections of the Coleridge Way and Two Moors Way promoted walking routes are still likely to be blocked by fallen trees.
Even where we have cleared paths, there is the possibility that more trees may have fallen or landslips have occurred so please take care if you are out and about and take note of any signage. Please report any issues to us by using our online reporting system (Explore Somerset - Rights of Way, Open Spaces and Area Management) or by email to access@exmoor-nationalpark.gov.uk.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. We will update with more information as it becomes available.
