Coast and Moor Outdoor Festival

May Coast and Moor Outdoor Festival

Over 50 events and activities to enjoy in & around Exmoor this May

Spring is bursting out all over and now there are even more reasons to enjoy May in and around Exmoor – over 50 in fact. Visit Exmoor has brought together a whole range of fabulous excuses to get outdoors this spring.

There are guided walks right across Exmoor, from Dunster to Dulverton, Minehead to Molland, Bluebell wood wanders, valleys and village tours and breath-taking coastal paths. ‘The Walker’ sculpture is back out in its rightful place on the Lynmouth esplanade, waiting to have his picture taken.

For more adrenalin-fuelled fun try Rock Climbing in Valley of Rocks or SUP in Porlock and Minehead. There’s kayaking, archery and even a kids’ multi-activity week at Wimbleball Lake. Enjoy a fossil walk along Watchet’s fascinating coast, a seaside safari in Combe Martin or stream dipping at Tarr Steps.  Stay dry and see Exmoor from the sea with a boat trip from Lynmouth along the dramatic rocky coastline.

Bring the outside in with a selection of painting workshops at the Exmoor National Park Centre in Lynmouth, including a sea glass, watercolour and pastel workshop. Find out more about the historic water-powered sawmills at open days at Simonsbath and Cowbridge. Or enjoy Open Gardens weekends at Porlock and Brendon.

There are great family days out at the Cliff Railway, the Lynton Railway Spring Gala and an Exmoor National Park Big Adventure Day at Nutcombe Bottom. Meet Exmoor ponies at the Exmoor Pony Centre, follow the Butterfly trail in Heddon Valley or take a Forest Night Walk in the woods of Croydon Hill.

There’s sublime chamber music in Dunster, mayday mayhem in Simonsbath, duck races, wheelbarrow races and much, much more. What are you waiting for?
