Riding

Exmoor has a well earned reputation as one of the best horse riding spots in the country including coastal bridleways, beautiful heather moorlands, and steeply wooded valleys. Over half of the extensive public rights of way network is classified as bridleway and there are numerous stables and riding schools across Exmoor. Riding can be a great way to explore some of the remoter and more wild parts of the National Park such as the Doone Valley.
