Welcome to Exmoor & West Somerset

Coastal View

From its breathtakingly beautiful coastline of plunging cliffs, sheltered bays and traditional resorts to the space and undisturbed tranquility of its open moors and wooded valleys, Exmoor provides a world of contrasts. This destination in the South West of England offers an escape from the stresses of daily life and an opportunity to recharge the batteries.

Exmoor is ideal for a relaxing break away from the crowds. It's great for walking, riding and mountain biking and our crystal clear rivers are perfect for fly-fishing and canoeing - or you could just relax and enjoy the spectacular scenery and wonderful local food.

Hiking

Exmoor includes the Exmoor National Park, Lorna Doone country and the Quantock Hills, the Exmoor coast includes the ancient harbour town of Watchet, the seaside resort of Minehead and the historic town of Porlock, not forgetting Lynton and Lynmouth where you can see the Valley of the Rocks. Enjoy the wonderful heather clad moors, deep valleys, dramatic coastline, pretty villages and seaside resorts, but most of all a warm welcome.
