The Exmoor Review 2026

The All-Party Parliamentary Group for Outdoor Recreation and Access to Nature has reported back on its brief to develop recommendations to achieve a more active, healthier country and improve the extent and quality of access to nature for everyone.

The rivers of Exmoor are fairly full and the ground is absolutely saturated, making life difficult for the farming community and its livestock, yet the constant rain can unexpectedly benefit some wildlife, particularly in the floodplain within the Porlock Vale.

Local MP Rachel Gilmour, has written to the Minister for Housing and Planning requesting that he look into the merits of including swift bricks in new builds.
