Exmoor Village Guides

The towns and villages of Exmoor are bursting with charm. For the most part, settlements vary from tiny hamlets to quintessential English villages. There are a few small to moderately sized towns, but no bright lights and cosmopolitan city vibes. Exmoor is really a rural countryside region, in tune with its roots and traditional ways. There is no shortage of pretty thatched cottages lining winding country lanes. You won’t have to spend long looking for a proper country pub either!

If you are looking to come and stay, most places will be within easy reach, as Exmoor is not so very large. But why not explore some of our local village guides for inspiration on where to stay here.
