For holiday ideas and inspiration, here are a few suggestions from the Best of Exmoor team. Exmoor is a great big adventure playground for kids and adults alike. With tons of wildlife, beautiful scenery and a stunning coastline, why not get out and about and enjoy the outdoors.
Little ones will love to make dens in the woods, see what the rock pools have to offer or go on a hunt for a smugglers cave.
Birdwatchers, photographers and artists won’t be disappointed with the plethora of habitats, from the open moors to sheltered woodlands, hilly valleys to pine tree forests.
If you love history and delving into days of old, there are museums, castles and abbeys, burial sites and bridges spanning the ages.
Get active on bikes, canoes, horses or kayaks. Try running up Porlock Hill if you are up for a challenge..!
Don’t forget to check out our Places to Visit, Events, Attractions & Experiences, Walks & Beaches, and Get Active Outdoors pages for more holiday ideas.
