Exmoor events calendar 2012
There are many different things happening on Exmoor throughout the year, from cultural (e.g. the Two Moors Festival and Porlock Arts Festival) to sporting (e.g. the Golden Horseshoe from Exford, Ironman 70.3 at Wimbleball Lake) to leisure (e.g. the Exmoor Food Festival and the Exmoor Walking Festival) but one of the beauties of Exmoor is that it never seems crowded - you don't have to go very far at all to get away. So don't be put off by the thought that there may be hordes of people everywhere; there's plenty of room for everybody. If you want to escape from the Olympic Games - or recover after them - then Exmoor's a great place to be.
