The Exmoor National Park
is a protected area of approximately
267 square miles within North Devon and West Somerset in the South West of
England, UK. Exmoor is a mixture of valleys and combes, high heather
moorland and ancient oak woodland. The northern boundary of
Exmoor is the dramatic coastline of the Bristol Channel. The cliffs here
are the highest in England and much of them is covered in ancient oak
woodland. The tides in the Channel can be quite fierce but there
are a number of safe, sandy beaches. There is a wide diversity of wildlife on Exmoor; The famous wild Exmoor Pony still thrives on the heathland commons, as do the herds of wild Red Deer. There are large numbers of foxes which, until 2005, were regularly hunted on horseback using hounds. The loud 'mewing' of the buzzards as they circle overhead is also a feature of the Exmoor scenery. Another Exmoor feature is the Devon bank - field boundaries consisting of high, stone-sided, hedge topped man made banks. Exmoor is a very quiet and peaceful place, relatively unchanged for many years. Lots of its visitors return year after year, drawn by the beautiful scenery, abundant wildlife and the relaxing ambience of the place. We hope you find this guide helpful. |
