As spring takes hold across the moors, valleys and coastline, the landscape comes alive with wildflowers, newborn lambs and longer, lighter evenings. Whether you&#8217;re looking for egg hunts with the little ones, bracing coastal walks or simply a peaceful retreat in the countryside, Exmoor has something for everyone this Easter.\r\n\r\nIn 2026, Easter falls across the weekend of <strong>Friday 3rd April to Monday 6th April<\/strong>, giving you a lovely four-day break to explore one of England&#8217;s most beautiful national parks. With villages like Dunster, Porlock and Lynmouth on your doorstep, you&#8217;ll never be short of things to do.\r\n\r\nWe&#8217;ve put together this guide to help you plan the perfect Easter family holiday on Exmoor \u2014 from the best egg hunts and spring walks to rainy day ideas and our favourite cottages for the season.\r\n\r\n<!-- TABLE OF CONTENTS -->\r\n<div style=\"background: #f5f5f0; padding: 32px; border-radius: 20px; margin: 40px 0; border-left: 4px solid #90b284;\">\r\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 0; color: #90b284; font-family: Cormorant Garamond, Georgia, serif; font-size: 24px;\">In This Guide<\/h3>\r\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: none; padding-left: 0; margin-bottom: 0;\">\r\n \t<li style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none; color: #333;\" href=\"#easter-egg-hunts\"><strong>1.<\/strong> Easter Egg Hunts &amp; Family Fun<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none; color: #333;\" href=\"#spring-walks\"><strong>2.<\/strong> Spring Walks for Families<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none; color: #333;\" href=\"#wildlife\"><strong>3.<\/strong> Wildlife Spotting<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none; color: #333;\" href=\"#beaches\"><strong>4.<\/strong> Beaches &amp; Coastal Adventures<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none; color: #333;\" href=\"#rainy-day\"><strong>5.<\/strong> Rainy Day Activities<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none; color: #333;\" href=\"#eating-out\"><strong>6.<\/strong> Where to Eat with Families<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none; color: #333;\" href=\"#cottages\"><strong>7.<\/strong> Our Top Easter Cottages<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"padding: 8px 0;\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none; color: #333;\" href=\"#faqs\"><strong>8.<\/strong> Frequently Asked Questions<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<!-- SECTION 1: EASTER EGG HUNTS -->\r\n<h2 id=\"easter-egg-hunts\">1. Easter Egg Hunts &amp; Family Fun<\/h2>\r\nEaster on Exmoor wouldn&#8217;t be complete without an egg hunt, and there are plenty to choose from across the area. The National Trust properties are always a safe bet for a well-organised family day out.\r\n<h3>Dunster Castle<\/h3>\r\nThis stunning medieval castle perched above the village of Dunster typically hosts an Easter trail over the bank holiday weekend. Children can follow clues through the beautiful grounds and subtropical gardens, with a chocolate reward at the end. It&#8217;s a wonderful way to combine a bit of history with some fresh air and family fun.\r\n<h3>Arlington Court<\/h3>\r\nJust across the border into North Devon, Arlington Court is another National Trust gem that usually runs Easter activities. The Carriage Museum and extensive grounds make it a great half-day out, and the parkland is ideal for little ones to run around in.\r\n<h3>Village Easter Events<\/h3>\r\nMany Exmoor villages organise their own Easter events over the bank holiday \u2014 from egg hunts on the village green to Easter bonnet parades and craft activities. Keep an eye on local noticeboards and village Facebook pages in the weeks before Easter for the latest listings. Dunster, Porlock and Dulverton are particularly good for community-led events.\r\n\r\n<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8755\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebestofexmoor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Easter-on-Exmoor.jpeg\" alt=\"Easter on Exmoor\" width=\"993\" height=\"658\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebestofexmoor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Easter-on-Exmoor.jpeg 993w, https:\/\/www.thebestofexmoor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Easter-on-Exmoor-300x199.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.thebestofexmoor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Easter-on-Exmoor-768x509.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 993px) 100vw, 993px\" \/>\r\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Image Credit: Neville Stanikk<\/h5>\r\n<!-- SECTION 2: SPRING WALKS -->\r\n<h2 id=\"spring-walks\">2. Spring Walks for Families<\/h2>\r\nSpring is arguably the best time of year for walking on Exmoor. The weather is mild, the bluebells are beginning to carpet the ancient woodlands, and the days are long enough for a proper afternoon ramble. Here are some of our favourite family-friendly routes:\r\n<h3>Tarr Steps<\/h3>\r\nThis ancient clapper bridge across the River Barle is one of Exmoor&#8217;s most iconic landmarks. The riverside walk is relatively flat and easy for younger children, with plenty of opportunities for paddling and stone-skimming. The woodland along the river is particularly beautiful in spring.\r\n<h3>Porlock Weir to Bossington<\/h3>\r\nA gentle coastal and woodland walk that takes you from the pretty harbour at Porlock Weir through to the pebble ridge at Bossington Beach. It&#8217;s about 2 miles each way and mostly flat \u2014 perfect for families with pushchairs or little legs. Look out for the wild marshland birds along the way.\r\n<h3>Dunster Circular<\/h3>\r\nStarting from the medieval yarn market in Dunster village, this circular route takes you up through the deer park behind the castle, along Grabbist Hill and back through the village. It&#8217;s around 3 miles with some gentle climbs, and the views across to the Bristol Channel are superb on a clear day.\r\n<h3>Valley of Rocks, Lynton<\/h3>\r\nOne of the most dramatic landscapes in the south-west. The Valley of Rocks is home to wild feral goats, extraordinary rock formations and sweeping coastal views. The path from Lynton is relatively easy and the landscape feels almost otherworldly \u2014 children absolutely love it.\r\n\r\n<!-- SECTION 3: WILDLIFE -->\r\n<h2 id=\"wildlife\">3. Wildlife Spotting<\/h2>\r\nExmoor is a haven for wildlife, and spring is a particularly exciting time to get out and explore with the family.\r\n<h3>Exmoor Ponies<\/h3>\r\nThe iconic Exmoor ponies are one of Britain&#8217;s oldest native breeds and can be spotted grazing on the open moorland year-round. Spring is a lovely time to see them as the mares often have foals at foot. Good spots include Winsford Hill, Porlock Common and the moorland above Simonsbath. Remember to keep a respectful distance \u2014 they&#8217;re wild animals, not pets!\r\n<h3>Red Deer<\/h3>\r\nExmoor is home to England&#8217;s largest wild herd of red deer. By April, the hinds may be starting to have their calves, though most are born in May and June. You&#8217;re most likely to spot deer at dawn and dusk on the open moorland around Dunkery Beacon, or in the wooded combes near Horner and Cloutsham.\r\n<h3>Birdwatching<\/h3>\r\nSpring brings migrant birds back to Exmoor. Listen for the distinctive call of the cuckoo across the moors, watch for dippers and grey wagtails along the rivers, and keep an eye out for buzzards circling overhead. The coastal path is also excellent for spotting seabirds, including fulmars, razorbills and the occasional peregrine falcon.\r\n\r\n<!-- SECTION 4: BEACHES -->\r\n<h2 id=\"beaches\">4. Beaches &amp; Coastal Adventures<\/h2>\r\nExmoor&#8217;s coastline is wonderfully rugged and dramatic, and Easter is a brilliant time to explore it before the summer crowds arrive.\r\n<h3>Porlock Weir<\/h3>\r\nThe tiny harbour at Porlock Weir is utterly charming. The pebble beach stretches along the coast and is a great spot for rock-pooling at low tide. There&#8217;s a lovely cafe right on the harbour for warming up with a hot chocolate afterwards.\r\n<h3>Lynmouth<\/h3>\r\nNestled where the East Lyn and West Lyn rivers meet the sea, Lynmouth is a picturesque harbour village with a small beach. Take the cliff railway up to Lynton for incredible views, or explore the stunning Glen Lyn Gorge.\r\n<h3>Combe Martin<\/h3>\r\nAt the western edge of Exmoor, Combe Martin has a sandy beach that&#8217;s popular with families. The rock pools here are some of the best on the coast, and the village is home to several family-friendly attractions.\r\n<h3>Minehead<\/h3>\r\nFor a more traditional seaside experience, Minehead has a long sandy beach, a promenade and all the essentials for a classic family beach day. It&#8217;s also the starting point of the South West Coast Path if you fancy a longer walk.\r\n\r\n<!-- SECTION 5: RAINY DAY -->\r\n<h2 id=\"rainy-day\">5. Rainy Day Activities<\/h2>\r\nLet&#8217;s be honest \u2014 this is Exmoor, and April showers are part of the deal. But a rainy day on Exmoor is far from a wasted one. Here are some brilliant indoor and sheltered activities:\r\n<h3>Exmoor Zoo<\/h3>\r\nThis intimate, family-run zoo near Barnstaple is home to a wonderful collection of animals including lynx, wolves, cheetahs and a huge variety of smaller creatures. The keeper talks and feeding sessions are a real highlight, and much of the zoo is covered or sheltered.\r\n<h3>West Somerset Railway<\/h3>\r\nBritain&#8217;s longest heritage railway runs from Bishops Lydeard to Minehead and often puts on special Easter services. A steam train ride through the Somerset countryside is magical for children and grown-ups alike.\r\n<h3>Dunster Castle<\/h3>\r\nEven if you&#8217;ve done the outdoor Easter trail, the castle itself is well worth exploring on a wet day. The interior is packed with history, from the 13th-century gatehouse to the grand Victorian rooms. Children can pick up a family trail at reception.\r\n<h3>Cream Teas<\/h3>\r\nWhen all else fails, a proper Exmoor cream tea is the answer. You&#8217;ll find excellent tearooms in Dunster, Porlock, Dulverton and Lynmouth \u2014 just remember, in Somerset it&#8217;s jam first, then cream (we won&#8217;t tell Devon).\r\n\r\n<!-- SECTION 6: WHERE TO EAT -->\r\n<h2 id=\"eating-out\">6. Where to Eat with Families<\/h2>\r\nExmoor has a wonderful food scene, and there are plenty of family-friendly options across the area. Here&#8217;s where to head:\r\n<h3>Dunster<\/h3>\r\nThe village has several pubs and tearooms that welcome families. You&#8217;ll find hearty pub lunches, cream teas and local ales within easy walking distance of the castle and high street.\r\n<h3>Porlock &amp; Porlock Weir<\/h3>\r\nPorlock village has a good selection of cafes and pubs, while Porlock Weir&#8217;s harbourside eateries are perfect for a post-walk lunch. Fresh seafood is a speciality here.\r\n<h3>Dulverton<\/h3>\r\nOften called the &#8220;Gateway to Exmoor,&#8221; Dulverton has a lovely selection of independent cafes and traditional pubs. It&#8217;s a great stop on the way to or from Tarr Steps.\r\n<h3>Lynmouth &amp; Lynton<\/h3>\r\nBoth villages have a good range of restaurants, cafes and fish-and-chip shops. Lynmouth in particular has some lovely waterside spots for a family meal.\r\n\r\n<em>Tip: Easter is busy on Exmoor, so it&#8217;s worth booking ahead for evening meals at popular pubs and restaurants, especially over the bank holiday weekend.<\/em>\r\n\r\n<!-- SECTION 7: COTTAGE TABLE -->\r\n<h2 id=\"cottages\">7.

Good Friday is 3rd April and Easter Monday is 6th April, giving you a four-day bank holiday weekend to enjoy on Exmoor.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"background: #f8f9fa; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px; overflow: hidden;\">\r\n<div style=\"padding: 20px; text-align: center; font-variant: small-caps; font-weight: 600; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 1px;\">What is the weather like on Exmoor at Easter?<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"padding: 0 20px 20px 20px; text-align: center; color: #555;\">April on Exmoor is typically mild with average temperatures of 8\u201313\u00b0C. You can expect a mix of sunshine and showers, so pack layers and a waterproof jacket. The higher moorland can be a few degrees cooler and windier than the sheltered valleys and coast.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"background: #f8f9fa; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px; overflow: hidden;\">\r\n<div style=\"padding: 20px; text-align: center; font-variant: small-caps; font-weight: 600; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 1px;\">Is Exmoor dog-friendly at Easter?<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"padding: 0 20px 20px 20px; text-align: center; color: #555;\">Absolutely! Exmoor is one of the most dog-friendly destinations in the UK. Most of the walks, pubs and beaches welcome well-behaved dogs. Do keep dogs on leads near livestock during lambing season (March\u2013May) and check individual attraction policies before visiting. Many of our cottages are dog-friendly too.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"background: #f8f9fa; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px; overflow: hidden;\">\r\n<div style=\"padding: 20px; text-align: center; font-variant: small-caps; font-weight: 600; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 1px;\">What are the best Easter activities for toddlers on Exmoor?<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"padding: 0 20px 20px 20px; text-align: center; color: #555;\">For younger children, the National Trust Easter trails at Dunster Castle are gentle and well-suited to little ones. The beach at Porlock Weir is great for a paddle and pebble collecting, and Exmoor Zoo has plenty to keep toddlers entertained. The flat riverside walk at Tarr Steps is also pushchair-friendly on the main path.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"background: #f8f9fa; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px; overflow: hidden;\">\r\n<div style=\"padding: 20px; text-align: center; font-variant: small-caps; font-weight: 600; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 1px;\">Should I book Easter cottages early?<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"padding: 0 20px 20px 20px; text-align: center; color: #555;\">Yes \u2014 Easter is one of the busiest times of year on Exmoor and popular cottages book up months in advance. We&#8217;d recommend booking as early as possible to secure your first choice, particularly for larger properties that sleep 6 or more.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"background: #f8f9fa; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px; overflow: hidden;\">\r\n<div style=\"padding: 20px; text-align: center; font-variant: small-caps; font-weight: 600; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 1px;\">How do I get to Exmoor?<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"padding: 0 20px 20px 20px; text-align: center; color: #555;\">Exmoor is easily reached by car via the M5 motorway \u2014 exit at junction 25 for Taunton (then A358\/A39) or junction 23 for Minehead. By train, Taunton is the nearest mainline station, and the West Somerset Railway runs a scenic heritage line from Bishops Lydeard to Minehead. Allow about 3\u20134 hours from London by car.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<!-- FINAL CTA BOX -->\r\n<div style=\"background: linear-gradient(135deg, #5a7a50 0%, #90b284 50%, #6a9460 100%); padding: 40px;
