| Exmoor is great for moorland walking - a short distance from the coastal towns are huge tracts of moorland, where you can walk all day and only meet those little ponies. A great place to get a taste of Exmoor's wilder side is to explore the region around Exe Plain and Cheriton Ridge. The walk starts in Lynton and follows the Tarka Trail on to the higher ground, before crossing the moor and descending via the East Lyn River valley. It's a long day out, so pack plenty of sandwiches. | ||
