Towns in and around ExmoorThe towns and villages of the Exmoor region are a major contrast to the cities and industrial towns of England. Each has a charm of its own but share an ambience and sense of times gone by.
 With a small harbour and surrounded by cliffs Ilfracombe in North Devon represents a major "blast from the past". Its history goes back 3 millenia The town stretches along the coast from 'The Coastguard Cottages' in Hele Bay toward the east and 6 km along The Torrs to Lee Bay toward the west. The resort is hilly and the highest point within the town boundary is at 'Hore Down Cross', 3 km inland and 270 m (860 ft) above sea level. A seasonal foot passenger ferry service runs from the harbour to Lundy Island and The Balmoral, The Waverley and pleasure boats ply to Porthcawl near Swansea.
 Combe Martin is a small seaside resort with a sheltered cove on the edge of the Exmoor national park. Due to the narrowness of the valley, it is comprised mainly of a single long street which runs two miles from the valley head to the sea.
 Luxborough There's just something special about the tiny village of Luxborough. Visitors pick up a sense of "community" that can be seen at many events throughout the year. Not to be missed are the famous Duck Races at the May Fair and Village Fete (July).
