The Coleridge Way

The Coleridge Way is a 36 mile walk taking you through the stunning Somerset country side. The route was inspired by Samuel Coleridge the poet and philosopher who lived in Nether Stowey where the Coleridge Way begins. The Valiant Soldier is situated half way along the route and is ideal for an over night stop and well deserved meal!
