Holiday Cottages Avon & Somerset

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.
