Snelsmore Common Country Park offers a delightful setting for encountering ponies in their natural habitat. The park is crisscrossed with a network of trails that weave through diverse terrains including heathlands, woodlands, and grasslands. To increase your chances of spotting ponies, embark on the main circular walking route starting from the car park. This trail provides a gentle walk that takes you across open heath where the Exmoor ponies often graze. Early morning or late afternoon walks tend to be the most fruitful as the ponies are generally more active during these times. Remember, these are wild animals, so maintain a respectful distance and enjoy the beautiful scenery and wildlife that Snelsmore Common has to offer.
