Exmoor
 We
are ideally placed for walking and exploring the beauty and wildlife
of Exmoor, The Brendon Valley, the famous Lorna Doone country and
the North Devon coast.
Exmoor is one of our finest landscapes and an important part of
our national heritage. It is protected for the conservation of its
scenery, wildlife and cultural heritage and for the understanding
and enjoyment which it can provide. The environment is tranquil
and relaxing, ideal for forgetting the stresses that life and work
can bring.

Exmoor
offers certain qualities which are valued more as life becomes
hectic and stressful. These include tranquillity, beauty,
unspoilt countryside, fresh air and outdoor recreation.
It
is said that "a change is as good as a rest" and
an important quality of Exmoor is its distinct scenery and
culture. You can see it's wild red deer and ponies and local
breeds of farm animals. The landscape includes wild and remote
coastlines, open moors and heaths, ancient oak woodland, beech
hedge banks as well as distinctive buildings and archaeological
features.

Exmoor
is full of wildlife, inhabitants include the fox, stoat,
mink, badger and rabbit. Buzzards soar and glide on the
breeze, the white chested Dipper patrols the hidden streams
and brooks, and you might just see a flash of emerald green
as the Kingfisher takes to the wing.

Brendon
Valley
|
|
Brendon,
an unspoilt Exmoor village steeped in history, nestles in
this peaceful and most beautiful East Lyn river valley. Open
moorland spreads from the valley halting abruptly at the dramatic
coast as cliffs fall to the wild Atlantic.
The
summer brings a change of mood to the moor, deep purple heather
and the vibrant yellow of gorse give a heady scent in those
long hot days.
|
Take
one of our beautiful moorland walks and you may be lucky to see
the outline of a pair of antlers in the distance. Walk quietly and
you may see Exmoor's famous Red Deer in the landscape they have
roamed for centuries.
'It's
no mystery why so many people return to Exmoor year after year.'
