Exmoor is a glorious part of the world to visit in the springtime; lambs a leaping, flowers in bloom, and greenery vibrantly glowing in abundance. With so much to see and do across Exmoor, it can be hard to know where to start! I don’t know about you, but I love a little 3 day itinerary for some holiday inspiration. Of course, there will be plenty of other options, extras or alternatives… but here’s a mini-break game plan to whet your appetite for an Exmoor adventure…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Exmoor Itinerary Day 1: Blow away the cobwebs<\/h2>\n

Morning<\/h4>\n

Begin your day with a visit to Dunkery Beacon<\/a><\/strong>, the highest point on Exmoor. This may sound like an ambitious start.. but don’t worry! There are options for parking not too very far from the summit. This is a great place to start a walk, enjoy some birdwatching or simply take in the stunning views. In the spring, the heather begins to bloom, covering the hills in a sea of purple.<\/p>\n

Afternoon<\/h4>\n

Head to the traditional Somerset village of Porlock<\/a><\/strong>, on the coast. Here, you can take a stroll along the shingle beach, and enjoy lunch in one of the charming independent cafes or pubs. There’s a great playpark here if you have kids; follow the road up behind the Church. Alternatively, boff up your knowledge on the history and stories of Porlock and the surrounding villages, in the Dovery Manor Museum<\/a>.<\/strong> (Free entry!)<\/p>\n

Evening<\/h4>\n

For dinner, head to The Ship Inn<\/a> <\/strong>(Porlock) for a friendly country pub experience. This traditional pub serves locally sourced, seasonal food and has a great selection of real ales and ciders. Relax and unwind in the cosy bar or enjoy dinner in the restaurant.<\/p>\n\t
