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.
Many walking guides favour long, demanding routes that take half a day. Wild and The West takes a different approach. We celebrate short walks that fit into real life, from around thirty minutes to two hours. Circular where possible and often paired with a good pub, café or place to eat nearby, chosen for easy escapes, fresh air and relaxed afternoons with good company.
