Exmoor National Park is 267 square miles of glorious countryside, moorland, woods, valleys, and farmland and of course the coast with both beaches and high cliffs. It is wonderful walking and riding country and there is plenty more of interest. Exford is situated at the heart of the Exmoor National Park. It is on the River Exe and famous for pursuits such as shooting, hunting, horse riding and fishing. In 1086, the Doomsday Book recorded eight settlements in the parish, five called Exford and three others. In the mid-19th century the Exford Iron Ore Co. owned several iron and copper mines in and around the village. They are now all closed. The current bridge over the river was built in 1930 on a medieval site.
