Exmoor, North Devon and Somerset

North Devon contains a quarter of Exmoor National Park and has a wonderful coastal landscape, with moorland rivers draining to a wild rocky coastline with sandy beaches, attractive harbour towns, rocky headlands and cliffs, and a large estuary.

Somerset as well as being home to the balance of Exmoor National Park is a rural county of rolling hills such as the Mendip Hills and the Quantock Hills Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and large flat expanses of land including the Somerset Levels.

Crow Point - North Devon

Lying at the tip of Braunton Burrows, Crow Point is a curved spit of sand which lies at the entrance to the Taw-Torridge Estuary. The open views from here are simply stunning, as is the sense of space. The area is the site of an ancient ferry crossing to Appledore and played a role in the WWII military activities that took place across the Burrows.
