Do you enjoy walking in The Parks? Or Woodcombe Walk, or Bratton Walk? A booklet about The Parks Walk is now on sale at Minehead Museum! This illustrated account of the trees and wildlife in The Parks has been compiled by the Exmoor Natural History Society, to replace its former booklet, now twenty years out of date. The booklet costs just £5.

Autumn will soon bring glorious autumn colour to The Parks Walks, so now is a good time to enjoy the trees and to learn more about these beautiful Walks!
