The Coleridge Way is a 36 miles (58 km) footpath in Somerset, England.
It was opened in April 2005, and follows the walks taken by poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, to Porlock, starting from Coleridge Cottage at Nether Stowey, where he once lived.
Most of the footpath is waymarked. It starts in the Quantocks (England's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), passing through the villages of Holford, West Quantoxhead and Bicknoller before moving onto the Brendon Hills through the villages of Monksilver, Roadwater and Luxborough, across Lype Hill to Wheddon Cross. The final part of the path crosses the fringes of Exmoor National Park at Dunkery Hill to the woodland village of Horner and moves towards the coast at Porlock on the Bristol Channel where it intersects with the South West Coast Path. The landscapes include heathland, moorland, deciduous & coniferous woodland, farmland, deeply wooded valleys.
In 2008 it was selected by The Times as one of Britain's best autumn walks.[1]
