Exford sits on the edge of Exmoor in Somerset, tucked into the valley around the headwaters of the River Exe. The village is surrounded by open moorland and rolling hills, with higher ground such as Dunkery Beacon not far away, so it’s a popular base for walkers, riders and anyone wanting classic Exmoor scenery and dark skies.
Traditionally a farming and commoning community, Exford still shows that rural economy while also relying on tourism and outdoor pursuits; you’ll find a parish church, a pub and a tight-knit village life with agricultural shows and pony grazing reflecting a long-established local culture. The mix of moorland, livestock and small-scale hospitality gives the place a quiet, lived-in character rather than a purely tourist feel.
