Caption - Descending from Dunkery Beacon into the valleys below illustrates the impact man has had on the landscape. The change from wild moorland with its heather and ferns to cultivated high yield farmland is amazing.

Exmoor

Walking in the Exmoor National Park, which lies in West Somerset and North Devon, includes a dramatic section of coast. Wild moorland dominates the high ground with Dunkery Beacon the highest point within the National Park. Wooded valleys or combes cut deep into this upland and provide another typical feature of the landscape. The coast includes some of the highest cliffs in the UK with easy access provided by the South West Coast National Trail. More Information
