Exmoor is easily one of the most enjoyable and pretty of the national parks. Criss-crossed (but not too intensely) by well-maintained, quiet roads, walks, wild ponies, small forests (but not big enough to always interrupt the view), warmer and drier than so many of the other, boggier parks. As national parks go, it’s a little slice of bliss, and one of the areas I’d most like to move to in England. It’s as if the sun always seem to shine here. And it’s so big - I’ve only seen the southern half of it, and yet to explore the dramatic northern coastline of it.

Exmoor National Park is absolutely gorgeous, one of the nicest parts of the country, hands down. You’ll see wild ponies roaming around, along with sheep and cows in the fields, which makes it feel properly untouched and peaceful. There are little roads you can drive up, park, and then head out walking or cycling through stunning scenery. Whether you're after big open views or quiet trails, it’s just amazing. Highly recommend if you want to reconnect with nature and take in some proper countryside beauty.

Exmouth National Park proved to be an absolutely stunning destination, far exceeding expectations with its breathtaking beauty and serene landscapes. It was a true delight to explore, and what made the experience even more special was seeing how much my dogs enjoyed it too. The park offers an abundance of lovely walks, providing the perfect opportunity to leisurely wander through the magnificent scenery and soak in the tranquil atmosphere, making it an unforgettable visit for both me, my family and my dogs.

This place is beautiful. The views are amazing. Great place to hike or just sit and watch the scenery. You can’t go wrong here. Worth the drive. We hada good time with the kids and enjoyed this area. But we were also cautious that it’s a cliff and had them stay close.
