Horner Woods

Horner Woods is one of the largest areas of ancient semi-natural woodland in England, located within Exmoor National Park in Somerset. The woodland is renowned for its dense canopy of oak, ash, and hazel, as well as its rich biodiversity, including rare lichens, fungi, and wildlife. Walking trails wind through steep wooded valleys alongside Horner Water, offering a mix of tranquil riverside paths and more challenging hillside routes. In autumn, the forest is especially atmospheric with vibrant foliage and flowing streams, making it a popular destination for hikers, photographers, and nature lovers seeking a quiet escape.
