Exmoor Parish Council is the largest and most sparsely populated parish on Exmoor, covering nearly 32 square miles with an electorate of 123 people.  The village of Simonsbath is geographically near the middle and the hamlet of Sandyway is in the south of the parish, other than that it is made up of farmland and large areas of moorland.  It is situated in the heart of the Exmoor National Park on the Devon/Somerset border, and adjoins the three parishes of Exford, Withypool and Hawkridge and Porlock on the Somerset side.

The purpose of this website it to provide information and documents relating to the Parish Council.
