Visit Nearby Exmoor and Dartmoor
There’s nothing quite like fresh air and wide open spaces to help put a spring in your step. Luckily, for visitors to Ash Barton, we’re between two of the country’s most famous national parks: Exmoor 16 miles to our north and Dartmoor 50 miles to our south.
On Exmoor, go for a long hike and take in the stunning heather-clad moorlands, and the breathtaking coastline where high cliffs plunge into the Bristol Channel. Keep an eye out for red deer and explore the picturesque villages along the way. On Dartmoor, enjoy dramatic tors and wooded valleys and rare birds and butterflies.
Of course, no visit to Exmoor or Dartmoor would be complete without coming across some moor ponies. The ponies have roamed this part of the world for thousands of years.

Just got back from my stag do here with 34 others. Can't recommend the place highly enough. You can't fail to have a great time. Everything is very well thought out and set-up. We were welcomed with a very healthy supply of free-range eggs, which was a nice touch. The pool area is brilliant, the games barn provides endless hours of fun.
