A landscape like no other
There is plenty to see and do in the Exmoor National Park. The scenery is breathtaking with such a diversity of views — from open moorland vivid with purple heather in summer, to ancient wooded oak valleys and arable farmland with historic beech hedges.
Moorland and Valleys

Picturesque Villages
There are so many picturesque villages to discover — from Selworthy with its distinctive white-washed church, to Allerford with its old pack horse bridge. Each village has its own unique character and charm.
Exmoor Ponies
Exmoor is home to the iconic Exmoor ponies — a rare native breed that has roamed these moors for thousands of years. The park also supports England’s largest wild red deer population.
Keep your eyes open for buzzards soaring overhead, and in the rivers you might spot otters and salmon.
