Cultural Dessert

Exmoor

26 March 2008

We had a lovely week at Brendon on Exmoor, exploring the moor, coast and valleys of North Devon (and parts of Somerset). We did lots of walking and had plenty of cream teas. The countryside is very pretty, varied and (during March at least) extremely quiet. We particularly enjoyed the coastal path near Woody Bay and the beautiful Doone Valley - though we discovered the dangers of assuming that 'bridlepath' is the same thing as 'footpath' when our route pointed straight across a busy river! (Not having a horse with us we enjoyed a lengthy and fruitless search for a footbridge followed by a rather adventurous crossing!) We were lucky with the weather which was cold but mostly clear and sunny - having avoided the storms of the previous week and the snow that followed our return. A relaxing break.
