When you're headed to Exmoor National Park, stop by the visitor information centers at Dulverton, Dunster, and Lynmouth for information and maps. Guided walks, many of which have themes (archaeology, for example), are mostly free to join, although some are subject to a small charge. If you're walking on your own, check the weather, take water and a map, and tell someone where you're going.
