Whatever the season, the stunning area of Exmoor and Porlock Vale have activities to suit all interests and ages. In an area renowned for its variety of terrain, walkers can enjoy treks across the wild and beautiful moors, where Exmoor ponies and the magnificent red deer can often be seen; rambles along the rugged coast which offers wonderful views across the sea to Wales; or strolls in the ancient and quiet woods that abound. For the adventurous, local activities include safaris, horse riding and mountain biking or, by the sea, fishing, kayaking or whatever else floats your boat. For a more leisurely time, Exmoor contains a variety of National Trust villages and properties, including the impressive Dunster Castle. Or you may choose to take a nostalgic trip on a steam railway, wander through peaceful gardens or simply stroll through traditional villages, dipping into independent shops before enjoying a generous cream tea.
