Make it your kind of break

FAMILY BREAKS

Keep the Barle day manageable

Dulverton’s river and compact centre make a gentler family start before choosing any longer Exmoor route.

QUIET BREAKS

Take Exmoor one route at a time

Use the National Park Centre to choose a walk that fits conditions, then return to town for dinner rather than crossing the moor after dark.

A LITTLE ROOM TO EXPLORE

Two nights in Dulverton

Keep the first evening by the Barle, give Exmoor a full day and leave the last morning for Dulverton.

  1. Arrival: Bank Square and Fore Street

    Explore Fore Street, Bank Square and the Barle after checking in.

  2. Full day: Exmoor route

    When open, use the National Park Centre at Exmoor House for route advice before a walking day. Outside its season, choose your route from the park’s published walking information before arrival rather than depending on an open visitor desk.

  3. Departure: last local stop

    Take a final river-side stroll or visit a nearby Exmoor village on the way home.

Less time? For one night, keep the town and one short Barle walk; save the wider moor for another trip.

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

A few useful details

Which part of Dulverton should I choose for a first stay?

Stay in the compact centre for dinner, the River Barle and access to the National Park Centre. A town address does not put every Exmoor trail at the door.

When does Exmoor countryside make more sense?

Choose a rural room when the walking route is the main reason to travel. Evening food and the return journey need more planning than in Dulverton.

What is a realistic full day here?

A walking day works best after choosing a route for your transport and ability. The National Park Centre at Exmoor House can help during its open season; in winter, use the park’s published route information before travelling.

What if I have only one night?

For one night, keep the town and one short Barle walk; save the wider moor for another trip.

Is the National Park Centre still in Dulverton?

Yes. It is at Exmoor House, Kemps Way, TA22 9HL, beside the riverside lawns. It opens seasonally; the published 2026 season ends on 1 November, followed by a winter closure. Use its current opening page when planning an out-of-season visit.
