This is the web version of the 2008 edition of the renowned Exmoor Coast & Country Holiday & Short Breaks Guide.
There’s more to Exmoor than you’ve ever imagined -
Remember EXMOOR: Still England... but another World.
It’s when you spot your first herd of red deer
bounding through the bracken, or ride your horse
to the crest of Dunkery Beacon or drink in the wild
views around Pinkworthy Pond, that the Exmoor area
really gets hold of you, body and soul.
There are fine country houses in and around the
region, meltingly lovely beauty spots, thriving
market towns and a coast more remote, thickly
wooded and wild than any in the West Country.
There are red deer and Exmoor ponies living wild
on the moors, peregrines and red kites on the cliffs,
otters and dippers along the brawling moorland
rivers. Farmers, foresters, fishermen, gardeners,
shopkeepers, craftspeople, wardens – all have time
for a chat. That is the way they like to live on Exmoor.
There’s much more to Exmoor than you might think. First-time visitors are always surprised by the sheer space and undisturbed
tranquillity of its moors, not to mention a breathtakingly beautiful coastline of plunging cliffs and sheltered bays. But that is
just the start of the story…
Bucket and spade, saddle and bridle, boots and
backpack, picnic hamper and driving gloves – it is up
to you what you make of Exmoor. It’s all here, naturally.
