Accessible Exmoor
The beautiful landscape of Exmoor National Park is a great place to explore and enjoy whatever your level of mobility. While some of the footpaths and bridleways can be rugged and challenging, many are much easier and suitable for a wide range of users including people who are less mobile or use a wheelchair, families with young children or pushchairs as well as older people who may just want an easy going stroll.
Accessible Routes
We are currently in the process of redesigning our easy going walks information and providing more information on each route. In the mean time you will find a number of more accessible routes here.

Our Interactive map has a growing number of “easy going walks”. To help you plan your own walks we have developed a gradient map that shows how steep every Public Right of Way within the National Park is.
