Exebridge Lakeside

Cycling

The long-distance National Cycle route 3 connects Land’s End in Cornwall to Bristol. From Exebridge go east towards Taunton or north west towards Barnstaple to join the path. There are also plenty of easier routes around the local area too if you don't fancy a long trek. 

Walking

With Exmoor National Park close by, there are plenty of great opportunities for walking in the area. The Exe Valley Way is divided into 10 stages with bus links between them. Stage 7 of the walk passes Exebridge on its way from Bampton near Tiverton to Brushford, mainly following the River Exe.

Things to try

As Britain's first International Dark Skies Reserve, Exmoor National Park is well worth a late-night visit. Take a camera, a torch and a blanket (and maybe some snacks!) and spend an hour or so looking up at the stars.

During the day, the Grade I listed Tarr Steps which cross the River Barle are well worth a visit. Claiming the title of Britain's longest clapper bridge at 50 metres long, the steps are built from huge slabs of rock and you can stroll across them at your leisure.

Pubs and restaurants

The Anchor Inn is the closest pub to the campsite, offering great service and casual riverside dining. If you're up for travelling a little further afield, head to Woods Bar and Restaurant, a charming pub on the edge of Exmoor. Take a seat by the open log fire and sample the best of French-influenced British cuisine, using local West Country ingredients. The Bridge Inn is also in Dulverton (around 7 minutes drive from site), overlooking the River Barle, and offers cask ales and classic pub grub.
