Event overview

Are you ready for the Exmoor Perambulation?

The full 30-mile route around the original boundary of the Royal Forest of Exmoor is a historic event that traces its origins back to the time of Edward I.

This is one of the most challenging walks in the Exmoor annual calendar and now offers entries for runners too. You’ll get a great feeling about taking part as you will also be participating in the continuation of Exmoor’s rich history.

Completing the full Perambulation is a major achievement, but you also have the half-distance option, which starts with the main event but ends at Picked Stones Lane. Here you’ll be greeted by the ‘Miles‘ tea stop to enjoy a brew while waiting for the complimentary mini bus service back to Pinkery.

Whichever version you choose (and you don’t have to make up your mind until the day of the event), training is highly recommended before you tackle the main event, but the reward is immersion in the natural environment, heritage and spectacular scenery of Exmoor National Park.

Walk or run, the choice is yours. Come and be a part of this wonderful event’s long history. See you on the start line!

This event is part of Exmoor Perambulation.

Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
