Exmoor is an amazing place, with a different world-class view around every footpath corner Whether your idea of fun is an ultra marathon on the highest cliffs in England or a cream tea by the side of a babbling brook, then Exmoor is the pace to be. We are recognized as one of the best locations for walking in Europe and have road cycling good enough to host the Tour of Britain. Feel the open space of our heather topped moorland, catch a glimpse of wild red deer or iconic Exmoor ponies, explore our mysterious and very special woodlands, find your new favourite village pub, or marvel at a unique landscape shaped by people and nature over thousands of years.

Whether you are an experienced walker or someone who prefers a short stroll, Exmoor National Park is the ideal place to explore the outdoors on foot. With over 1000km of footpaths and bridleways, through woodlands, by tumbling rivers and on open heather covered moorland, the variety is endless. Some of the country's finest long distance routes pass through our National Park, or you can plan your own adventure to explore this unique landscape.
Whether you’re a bird spotter or a rock-pooler, a stream dipper or a bug hunter - Exmoor is the perfect place for you and your family to enjoy and discover wildlife. With lots of different habitats to explore including moorland, woodland, rivers and the coast you will be amazed what you might see. Why not come along to one of our "Big Adventures" or maybe create your own.
Exmoor was the first place in Europe to be designated a Dark Sky Reserve. The lack of light pollution means that our skies are perfect for stargazers, and good for the bats and moths too!
