Things to Do  

Selworthy

Selworthy, Exmoor National Park

 King_Golo Says:  A whole village owned by the National Trust - that is Selworthy. Built as a model village to provide housing for the retired workers of Holnicote Estate, the village now sees lots of tourists every day, but fortunately hasn't lost its charm. Honey-coloured cottages next to... 

Porlock Weir - Exmoor's Most Idyllic Harbour

Porlock Weir - Exmoor's Most Idyllic Harbour, Exmoor National Park

 King_Golo Says:  During our short time in Exmoor we stayed in the beautiful village of Porlock with its old cottages along the winding High Street, but what I liked best about this place was the harbour at Porlock Weir. It's an incredibly photogenic place which we reached for the best light... 

Lynton and Lynmouth

Lynton and Lynmouth, Exmoor National Park

 King_Golo Says:  The twin towns of Lynton and Lynmouth are a popular tourist destination on the Exmoor coast. This is mostly because of the funicular railway which connects them via an incredibly steep cliff, but also because of their pleasant location at the end of the mystic valley of the... 

The Ford and Graves of Allerford

The Ford and Graves of Allerford, Exmoor National Park

 King_Golo Says:  Allerford is a tiny village near Porlock. It's not exactly spectacular, but it has got a romantic atmosphere owing to its old-fashioned looks and the ford which gave the village its name. Just next to the ford is a picturesque stone bridge for those who do not want to wet... 

Watersmeet

Watersmeet, Exmoor National Park

 King_Golo Says:  The former hunting and fishing lodge of Watersmeet south of Lynton and Lynmouth makes for a great starting point for some nice walks through the oak forest surrounding the building. Just in front of the lodge (which nowadays is owned by the National Trust) the rivers East...

Porlock Weir

Porlock Weir, Exmoor National Park

 piglet44 Says:  If you like English sea views (I don't mean sunbathing and beaches), try Porlock weir,a short drive from Minehead.This is a lovely place very serene, full of little kids trying to catch crabs in buckets and older people quietly sketching and looking out to sea.It is a...

Warnings Or Dangers  

The way of nature .... not for the faint hearted

The way of nature .... not for the faint hearted, Exmoor National Park

 iris2002 Says:  Some of the trails lead also by pastures where lots of sheep graze ... and sometimes nature has it's own way of reminding us of our "fragile" existance.You will be hiking through some very remote areas - so don't be surprised to stumble across some skeletons of animals... 

Public Footpaths through farming estates

Public Footpaths through farming estates, Exmoor National Park

 iris2002 Says:  For those who are afraid of dogs - be aware that some of the hiking trails lead close to farms or sometimes through private property. And there are dogs who (even they don't bite) make a lot of fuss and chase after hikers and cyclists.I had one of those encounters - wich...
