The region
Exford is situated pretty much in the centre of Exmoor offering great access to all that Exmoor has to offer. It is a small rural village based around a traditional village green with children play area, beside it sits the village shop (currently closed for refurbishment). Post office facilities are available at the tearooms on Friday afternoons. Exford and the surrounding area is famous for its beautiful and unspoiled countryside making it ideal for hiking, biking, riding and fishing.
Just 10 minutes from Exford is Alderman's Barrow, just one example of the opportunity to explore an incredible Bronze age Landscape, with it’s mysterious stone settings, barrow and hut circle. A footpath runs from Alderman's Barrow to Larkbarrow which is the ruins of an isolated farm that was used for firing practice during World War II. This area is described by Exmoor National Park as being surrounded by miles of open, rolling grass moorland, and one of the best places to experience remoteness and tranquility on Exmoor.
Alternatively, you may decide to walk along the footpath and tracks through the tranquil water meadows and woodland along the River Exe towards Winsford. Access is via the car park opposite the Crown Hotel and it is a little over 4 miles to Winsford. However, think about how to get back before you set off unless you are committing to a 10 mile walk!
