Own a Piece of Exmoor
Own a piece of South West Coast Path history
CareMoor for Exmoor is holding a closed bid auction for a retired South West Coast Path fingerpost arm, previously located at Minehead at the start of the South West Coast Path and pointing towards Poole, 629¼ miles away.
Recently replaced by a new fingerpost, the original wooden arm is now looking for a new home. The successful bidder will receive the retired fingerpost arm (the upright post is not included), together with the opportunity for up to six people to enjoy a guided walk with an Exmoor National Park Ranger, from Minehead to North Hill along the South West Coast Path.
The minimum bid is £300 and all proceeds will support CareMoor for Exmoor's work to maintain and improve the Public Rights of Way network within Exmoor National Park.
Bidding opens on Friday 25 September 2026 and closes at 23:59 on Monday 26 October 2026. Bids will remain confidential and will only be reviewed after the auction has closed. Only one bid per person is permitted.
Bids will only be reviewed after the closing date, and the successful bidder will be contacted by Friday 30 October 2026.
The guided walk with the Ranger must be taken by 31 March 2027. Further details will be shared with the successful bidder.
The highest valid bidder will be contacted following the closing date and will have 10 working days to confirm acceptance and make payment in full. If payment is not received within this timeframe, the opportunity will be offered to the next highest valid bidder.
