Description:-
Exmoor is recognised as a challenging off-road cycling destination with a combination of a beautiful and varied landscape and an excellent network of bridleways, lanes and other permitted tracks great for both downhill and cross country riding.
Loosely defined as an area of hilly open moorland in west Somerset and north Devon in South West England, Exmoor is named after the River Exe and is a former ancient royal hunting forest.
The moor has given its name to a National Park, which includes the Brendon Hills, the East Lyn Valley and the Vale of Porlock. The highest point on Exmoor is Dunkery Beacon; at 519 metres (1,703 ft) it is also the highest point in Somerset.
There is evidence of human occupation from the Mesolithic period and the remains of standing stones, cairns and bridges can still be identified. There have also been reports of The Beast of Exmoor, a cryptozoological cat roaming Exmoor.
