Group Holiday Cottages Near Exmoor National Park

Exmoor National Park covers 267 square miles, with two thirds in Somerset and one third in North Devon. The scenery is spectacular from coast to countryside, and it’s so far-flung from the hectic pace of city life that it feels like another world. Drop down a gear or two, breathe in the wholesome fresh air and completely unwind. Go deep into the wilds exploring and you’ll find a bounty of wildlife, cosy village pubs and the friendliest little tea rooms, go mountain biking over the moors, pony trekking around the bridleways, kayaking along the rushing rivers.

And there are so many places to visit for days out; go with the fam to Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park or Exmoor Zoo, soak up the Medieval history of Dunster Castle, walk up through the wooded cliffs to Culbone Church, puff your way up to the summit of Dunkery Beacon, the highest part of Exmoor with panoramic views in all directions. Ride the Victorian cliff railway from Lynton to Lynmouth then wander out to the Valley of Rocks where feral goats live; cross the ancient Clapper bridge over the River Barle at Tarr Steps, watch the world go by in the picturesque harbour at Porlock Weir. Exmoor is not a place that time forgot – it’s a place that you will never forget.
