Exmoor National Park Getting there & around

Getting there & around

Getting around Exmoor by bus is tricky – there are only a couple of regular routes, and practically none to the west side of the park.

Bus & tram

Bus

National Express runs from London to Barnstaple (£27.50, 5½ hours, four daily) and Ilfracombe (£27.50, 6½ hours, two daily), and from Bristol to Barnstaple (£17.80, three hours, one daily).

The Taunton & West Somerset Public Transport Guide, free from tourist offices, contains timetables for all the main bus routes.
