Out and About Essentials
We ask that all members of the public follow the Countryside Code when out and about on Exmoor.
If you come across an issue on the access network please log via at Explore Somerset (which covers all of the National Park) or email us at access@exmoor-nationalpark.gov.uk or call 01398 323665.
Rights of Way
Public rights of way are paths along which the public has a legal right to pass and repass.
Access Land
Specific areas of land that are designated as 'Access Land' give people a right of access on foot for open air recreation.

Reports from members of the public about faults on public rights of way can be very helpful. Find out how to get in touch with us.
