Exmoor National Park

Exmoor is where the moor meets the sea. The heather tops run north to a coast of hog's-back cliffs that drop 250 m into the Bristol Channel, and the combes between are wooded, steep and full of red deer. It is the smallest of the big moors and the gentlest, with the best coastal walking of any national park.

Minehead, Porlock, Lynton and Dulverton are the bases; the South West Coast Path starts at Minehead.
