What's on Exmoor

The Exmoor National Park is one of Britain’s hidden treasures and is a beautiful place to visit. Loose yourself among the stunning scenery or take part in one of the many events and activities that are going on across the moor.

While you might conjure up ideas of wide sprawling countryside – and you’d be right – when you think of Exmoor, there is so much more to the area than just the landscape. Visiting Exmoor will open the doors to a wide range of incredible outdoor activities so you can get closer to nature.

There are plenty of adrenaline fuelled adventures in Exmoor, with everything from mountain biking, rock climbing and kayaking, which are available as guided tours, or for you to enjoy at your own pace. For those who are happier with a gentle activity, why not take part in the Exmoor Dark Skies Festival? During this annual event, visitors can spend several nights on Exmoor enjoying the clear night skies, star gazing and taking part in a variety of space-related activities and communal events such as campfires and stories. Other popular outdoor activities include guided hawk walks where you can get up close and personal with some of the region’s largest birds of prey.

Exmoor is a great destination for anyone who has a particular interest in the great outdoors and enjoys spending time in the natural world. With its diverse landscape, interesting ecology and breath taking views, Exmoor has plenty to offer, whether you are planning to join in guided events or want to take part in walks at your leisure. If you’re looking to escape a busy and hectic day to day life, the gentle and peaceful events and activities you’ll find in Exmoor are exactly what you’ll need to feel relaxed, while also feeling productive.
