Our Impact
The Exmoor Society has had some extraordinary successes since it was founded in 1958
We work continuously to protect Exmoor’s unique landscapes, wildlife and heritage. From campaigning and research, to events, awards and outreach. We support local livelihoods and new businesses with our Pinnacle Award for young entrepreneurs, preserve Exmoor’s history through our archive, and provide opportunities for people to explore, better understand, and care for the National Park.
Our aim is to care for the scenic beauty, rich wildlife and historic heritage of Exmoor. Ensure Exmoor’s landscapes are passed on to future generations in as good or better condition than they are now;
Encourage people to appreciate our National Park – everyone has a right to enjoy Exmoor’s magnificent landscapes
- The Exmoor Society Trustees

In the news
With judging underway for the Society's Alfred Vowles Photography Competition, it is a good time to report on our work in the archive over the last year to explore the life and works of this important early twentieth century photographer of Exmoor.
Now that our 2026 walks programme has come to a close, we wanted to say a huge thank you to all of our volunteer walk leaders who ran an event with us this year.
Huge congratulations to runner Alfie McIntosh, who donned his Exmoor Society T-shirt and completed the 50-mile ultra Salmon Run from Exmouth to Dulverton, finishing an impressive 4th overall!
