Exmoor is a beautiful, rugged and peaceful National Park in south west England. Walks can be easy strolls or challenging hikes climbing and descending several hundred feet, several times in a few miles. Within the park are a number of small villages. The notable towns are Minehead, at the eastern edge of the park, Porlock about halfway across the northern side and Lynton & Lynmouth towards the western side. Some of the smaller villages are very picturesque. Driving can be a little challenging in some of the tiny country roads, go slow and watch out for animals (and have good maps or a satnav). On the open moor you'll see the famous Exmoor Ponies - don't approach them, they can be very unpredictable. You'll also see sheep, highland cattle, deer, various birds of prey and numerous small mammals. In the streams and rivers you'll see trout and other fish and may even catch a glimpse of dolphins in the Bristol Channel. Food wise there are some excellent pubs selling superb food sourced locally - along with some great local beers. It's a time to wean yourself off the Carling and Guiness and try an Exmoor Ale, Otter Valley IPA, or whatever they have on tap. There are numerous quaint tea rooms selling the ubiquitous cream teas and you'll find many restaurants and cafes in the towns. To answer questions - there's no entry ticket, no fence around it (lots of fences within it, but it's farmed land), there are swing parks in some of the villages and towns. There is no direct rail link to Exmoor, the closest place is Taunton and get a cab to Bishop's Lydeard where you can get the West Somerset Railway to Minehead. I don't know of any car hire firms in Minehead, but there are some in Taunton. Disabled access? Well anyone can get here, but some areas and premises would be challenging or impossible for disabled persons - some of the buildings are centuries old. Things to do? Hiking is very popular here - the South West Coast Path starts (or ends) in Minehead. You can buy any number of books with excellent routes or circular walks from car parks, etc. Mountain biking is popular, plenty of fishing (coarse or sea), rock climbing and so on - most outdoor pursuits are catered for. Accommodation ranges from static caravans to yurts and shepherd's huts, to manor houses to AirBnB. Plenty of campsites and places to park a campervan. Dogs - welcome almost everywhere, but keep them on a lead where livestock are. Even the most well behaved dog can lose control confronted with sheep and lambs. Be very, very cautious of cows with calves, they can be extremely protective - ideally find another route. All in all it's a beautiful place to visit. But always be prepared for the great British weather and have appropriate waterproofs. If you're planning a walk, a reasonably good pair of boots will be a godsend.
