Experiencing Exmoor

What do you feel like doing today? Take in a festival or country show? Go on a ‘sea-side safari’ amongst rock pools? Watch medieval re-enactment, birds of prey on display or a demonstration of
local crafts? Perhaps even a boat trip, or spend a day sea fishing? There’s so much to experience on and around Exmoor.

Festivals, for example – a walking festival along the Coleridge Way; a celebration of books, photos, poetry and performance at the lively Arts Festival in Porlock; the majestic Watchet Carnival Weekend; ‘Knights and Maidens Days’ at Dunster Castle; Minehead’s international Music Festival.

Village celebrations – how about a tug-of-war at Parracombe Revels, the charity cricket match at Challacombe, or a look at the ponies, ducks and chickens at Bampton Charter Fair?

Organised activities – they range from rock pool safaris and country walks to Wet ‘n’ Active Days at Wimbleball Lake, climbing festivals at South Molton’s Mill Adventure Centre, and the annual Easter Egg hunt at Dunster Castle.


		Concerts and shows are held in every season all across the region; there are cinemas at Barnstaple and Lynton, and theatres at Barnstaple, Ilfracombe and Minehead and open-air performance abound. Folk music is strong at various pubs from the Ship at Porlock Weir to the Top George at Combe Martin – be brave and join in, that’s what it’s all about! And of course you’re liable to come across the West Somerset Morris Dancers outside a country pub, or buskers on the pavement, or a juggler on the seafront, just about anywhere you go… Why not consult our pull-out centre section “What’s on and what to do” or visit one of the local websites listed on www.exmoor-visitor.info
