Stretching from Combe Martin in Devon to Minehead in Somerset Exmoor is a region steeped in history and a fantastic place to visit whatever the time of year. From early Spring when bluebells and snowdrops carpet the wooded valleys through summer when the moorlands are a vibrant sea of yellows, purples and lilacs alive with the sound of birds and insects, to Autumn when a wonderful golden colour covers the oak woodlands and the majestic rutting stags are never too far away.
Exmoor is a beautiful and sparsely populated area of North Devon and Somerset, with the majority of the area designated as a National Park. The larger towns of Lynton, Lynmouth and Minehead are popular seaside resorts. Minehead to the east is where Exmoor meets the sea and is ideal for those who enjoy both the coast and countryside. Combe Martin is a pretty seaside town to the west of Exmoor and has an added attraction with its large number of rock pools. The small town of Dulverton known as the southern gateway to Exmoor is also home to the National Park Authorities headquarters. With its many independent shops, tea rooms and attractions Dulverton is both a pretty and lively place to visit. There are many picturesque small villages dotted across the region of Exmoor. Some are tucked away like Exford and Kilve but all have welcoming pubs and other attractions.
Exmoor also boasts some forty miles of coastline and is home to the start of the 630 miles South West Coast Path walk in Minehead. To view the truly amazing landscape of Exmoor visit the top of Dunkery Beacon (Exmoor’s highest point at 519 metres) and enjoy and the breathtaking scenery at its best.
