Walks Programme
The Exmoor Society is now a major provider of guided walks on Exmoor with a programme that runs from April to November.
Walks start from different locations across Exmoor and are of different lengths and on a wide variety of themes.
Our 2026 walks programme will start up again in the Spring and details will be updated to the website as soon as they are available.

On our walks you can:
- Discover prehistoric sites
- Hear about figures from literature and the arts and see the landscapes that inspired them
- Explore the history of Exmoor settlements
- Learn about Exmoor’s flora and fauna
- Spot wildlife (hopefully, but no guarantee)
- Explore a new route or re-visit a favourite one
All the walks are set in stunning Exmoor landscapes. Do come along, learn something new and enjoy the company of a welcoming and knowledgeable guide.
The walks are led by volunteers who enjoy sharing their time, knowledge and passion for Exmoor. Members and non-members alike are welcome to join the walks which are free for children and a small charge for adults
