Each year on 19 October, Exmoor Day gives us a chance to celebrate everything that makes Exmoor special – from its dramatic natural landscapes and incredible wildlife to its towns and villages, local produce and rich heritage.
This year, we’re inviting you to join in with our brand-new Exmoor Day Challenge, designed to inspire you to get outside and discover more of what makes Exmoor such a special place. Think of it as your own Exmoor passport – download it, save it to your phone or print it out, then start planning your Exmoor adventure!
What is the Exmoor Day Challenge?
We’ve put together a list of 25 things to see, do and experience across Exmoor, giving you plenty of inspiration for getting out and explore the best of Exmoor over the weekend in the lead-up to Exmoor Day. Some of the challenges are simple things you can do while you’re out and about, while others might inspire you to visit somewhere new or try an experience you haven’t done before.
From exploring the natural landscape and spotting Exmoor wildlife to discovering local attractions, enjoying local produce and visiting somewhere new, there are lots of different ways to take part. There are also opportunities to support local businesses, with many Visit Exmoor members offering experiences that can help you tick items off your list.
You don’t have to complete all 25 – the challenge is simply about getting outside, exploring somewhere new and making the most of your time on Exmoor. Although, if you do manage to tick them all off, we’d love to hear about it!
Download your Exmoor Day Challenge
Ready to get started? Download the Exmoor Day Challenge 2026 and see how many you can tick off. You can print your challenge and take it with you or save it to your phone and tick things off as you go – the choice is yours.
Why not get together with friends or family and make a weekend of it? And if you’re feeling competitive, why not make it a challenge between you and see who can tick off the most!

We’d love to see where the challenge takes you, so don’t forget to snap photos as you work your way through the list and share them with us on social media. Tag us in your photos on Facebook and Instagram and let us know how many challenges you’ve managed to tick off.
Whether you complete two, ten or all 25, we’d love to see what you get up to. Share your favourite view, a photo from your walk, a new place you’ve discovered or one of the experiences from your challenge list.
