Field tested trails & wonders

A fresh outdoors guide shaped by the landscapes, stories and independent spirit of the South West. We seek out short circular walks with remarkable views, interesting history and a great pub or café nearby.


Each route is field tested so you always know where the good bit is. If you ever feel unsure where to walk or worried about missing that perfect trail with a hidden viewpoint, let us do the searching for you.

Some walking guides focus on long, serious routes that take half a day. Not here. Wild and The West celebrates short walks that fit into real life. Around thirty minutes.


Circular if possible. Designed for a quick burst of fresh air or a slow afternoon wander with a friend..
