RIDING ON
EXMOOR
FOR fifty years,
Exmoor has been a National
Park – an extensive area of relatively wild open
and unspoilt countryside suitable for quiet
enjoyment.
Along the dramatic coast are England’s highest sea
cliffs. Inland, moors and heaths offer a chance for
solitude, which you can share with the famous wild red
84764 deer and Exmoor ponies.
Walkers and horse riders love Exmoor – the footpaths
and bridle-ways are well maintained and signposted –
there are facilities for hacking, jumping or trekking.
Rides from dawn ‘til dusk
Exmoor is a naturalist’s paradise with a huge variety
through the beautiful landscape
of habitats and a great diversity of plants and animals.
