Exmoor National Park

Exmoor National Park, covering land in the counties of Somerset and Devon is made up of wild moors, farmland, deep wooded valleys and dramatic coastline, meaning it is a diverse and unique landscape with extraordinarily lovely views around every corner. The huge areas of moorland provide remote and secluded trails, which is a rare find in southern England! Whether you want to walk the miles of ancient trails, take a trip on a Victorian steam train, visit the famous Exmoor ponies up on the moors or take part in some thrill-seeking adventures in Croyde or Hele Bay, Exmoor has it all. Exmoor was Europes first ever International Dark Sky Reserve, which makes it one of the best places in the UK for stargazing. On a clear, dark night, the Milky Way is clearly visible along with thousands of stars and constellations. The annual Dark Skies festival in Exmoor in October is a great time to come along and spot the many shooting stars and experience it for yourself. A magical place.
