Exmoor National Park

High moorland, dramatic cliffs, and routes between hill and sea

Open moorland, deep wooded valleys, fast-flowing rivers, and some of England's highest sea cliffs create a landscape shaped by weather, water, and wide horizons. Straddling the counties of Somerset and Devon, Exmoor National Park combines upland scenery and dramatic coastline within one of England's most distinctive walking regions.

Long-distance trails such as the South West Coast Path, Two Moors Way, Coleridge Way, and Macmillan Way West pass through the national park, linking places including Minehead, Porlock, Lynmouth, Lynton, Dulverton, and Simonsbath. Moorland tracks, clifftop paths, river valleys, and ancient routes reveal changing views across the Bristol Channel, heather-covered hills, and remote upland landscapes, creating journeys shaped by both coast and countryside.

Whether following a national trail, crossing the open moors, or exploring the valleys and coastline, Exmoor rewards time spent on foot. Big skies, varied terrain, and a strong sense of wildness make it one of England's most rewarding destinations for self-guided travel.
