Fishing and Shooting

Fishing
A combination of beautiful scenery and clean fresh air makes fishing the rivers
and streams on Exmoor an unchallengeable delight. Excellent sea fishing is also
available for free (except for lost tackle!) along much of the coast with catches
of bass, cod, whiting, conger and skate all reported. Joining an escorted boat
fishing trip can be a more reliable way to catch sea fish and there are many
trips to choose from at very reasonable prices.

Shooting
Home to some of the most spectacular shoots in the country, Exmoor's drastically
sharp landscape and open moorland is the perfect recipe for some very good sport.
Whether it is at partridge, pheasant or clays you are aiming at, you are
guaranteed an unforgettable day.

Riding and Hunting
|
|
|
|
|
Riding
A ride on Exmoor may travel over the spectacular heather clad moorland,
through ancient oak woodlands, along tumbling river valleys or through
some of Exmoor's unique farmland. You will get closer to nature and are
more likely to see the Exmoor's wildlife when riding on a horse, such as
the red deer, and Exmoor ponies. If you’re really lucky you might even
catch a glimpse of the Exmoor beast!

Hunting
Hunting on Exmoor has been taking place for hundreds of years, and is an
integral part of its way of life. An incredible way to experience the
dramatically beautiful countryside, whilst being spoilt for choice of who
to follow, as there are three working Staghound packs, and six working
Foxhound packs.
