The county of Somerset
covers 1,365 square miles and has a population of 450,000. Somerset is
known worldwide as the home of Cider, and indeed Cider production is ranked
second only to dairy farming as the main industry. Natural features of the
county include the rivers Avon, Exe and Parret, the marshy coastline of the
Bristol Channel and the Mendip Hills which include Cheddar Gorge, the origin of
English Cheddar cheese. As with many of England's southern counties Somerset
remains a picturesque reminder of the pre-industrial days.
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 and there are large numbers of foxes which are 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. Find your perfect self catering holiday cottage in
