The varied landscape has something for everyone, beautiful, rich and diverse. An outdoor lovers playground, Exmoor attracts those who love to walk, cycle, run, ride or just appreciate the natural world. The small towns and villages dotted across the landscape are oh so pretty, with thatched roofs and pretty gardens, character galore.<\/p>\n<p>So here are a few of the things that Exmoor is famous for;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Landscape &amp; Coastline<\/h2>\n<p>One of the most striking features of Exmoor is the natural landscape. Better known for the moors, the highest regions of Exmoor are sweeping open planes with gorse, heather and wild grasses. Dunkery beacon marks the <strong>highest spot in southern England outside of Dartmoor<\/strong>, at 519m above sea level. Moorland spreads in every direction from here but drops down into ancient woodlands and sheltered valleys.<\/p>\n<p>The coastline includes various <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebestofexmoor.co.uk\/blog\/exmoor-beaches\/\">beaches<\/a> as well as towering craggy cliffs. In fact, Exmoor has the <strong>highest coastline of the British mainland<\/strong>. High spots are near Culbone Hill and on Great Hangman near Combe Martin (250m cliff face, coastal hill 318m). This dramatic geography also results in parts of the Exmoor having the <strong>most remote coastline in England<\/strong>, with various sections inaccessible either from land or via boat.<\/p>\n<p>Exmoor the <strong>highest tidal range in Europe<\/strong>, with average spring tides of 9.3 meters in Porlock Weir.
