THE BIG PICTURE

Wimbleball Lake in Exmoor National Park is well known for its activity centre and is popular for walking, camping, birdwatching, angling, sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, rowing and kayaking. It also makes a great photo! Turn the page to see more of our special focus on Exmoor.

TARR STEPS

Exmoor National Park is no doubt one of the most picturesque and peaceful National Nature Reserves in the UK. Tarr Steps is one of its incredible and more popular features, which is famous for its clapper bridge, the longest and oldest of its kind in Britain.

DUNSTER CASTLE

Dramatically sited on a wooded hill, Dunster Castle has existed here since the Norman times. The spectacular Medieval gatehouse and the ruined tower is a reminder of its eventful history. Hundreds of years old, expect to be blown away by the vistas and subtropical gardens.

Whether it’s for a day trip or a longer break, there is nowhere quite like Exmoor. HOLLY LOUISE EELLS shares a taster of what to discover in this magical place
