ESSENTIAL WALKING INFORMATION
What to bring:
Please wear sensible footwear and clothing appropriate to the weather and countryside. Walking boots are recommended for mostly walks, although stout shoes should be adequate for all but the challenging walks. Rubber boots would be useful for some of the short special interest walks. Your own binoculars would be handy on some walks and there will be plenty of opportunities to take photographs. Don't forget your packed lunch on long walks over lunchtime.
Dogs:
Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome on walks unless the description specifies no dogs. These are specialist walks where dogs will not be allowed. If in any doubt, please check with the Dulverton National Park Centre on 01398 323841 before bringing your dog.
Weather:
Unless specified, walks will normally still take place if the weather is wet and a guide will attend the start whatever the weather. In particularly adverse conditions it is up to the guide's discretion to cancel or curtail the walk or to decline to take persons not adequately equipped.
Groups:
Groups of ten people or more will not be accepted. A separate service is available and group leaders should contact the Education Officer at Exmoor House.
Trespass & Safety:
All reasonable attempts are made to ensure that the walks listed are safe and do not involve trespass, but no covenant to this effect is made or can be implied. All persons taking part do so entirely at their own risk and on the strict understanding that Exmoor National Park Authority, its servants and agents (including the guides) accept no responsibility whatsoever for any injury (including death) to any person or persons, or destruction to property, however caused (including negligence), by or in connection with participation in the walks.
For more information please see the National Park website or call for specific walking times and prices.
