Exmoor

Two-thirds of Exmoor is in Somerset, (the county I now live in), and the other third is in Devon, (the county I used to live in).

It's a wonderful area of rugged landscapes and quaint little villages, not to mention some beautiful wildlife.

I hope this gallery of images reflects something of my love for the area and helps you to enjoy a part of the world that you may never physically get to see.

(N.B. Most of the earlier shots were taken with my Fuji S602Z ~ the rest were taken with one of my Nikon DSLRs.)

Having lived in Lynmouth, broswing through your great gallery of beautiful Exmoor
brought back wonderful memories.

One word, Lovely!!! I live in the North of Holland and everything is flat overhere so that's why i love Great Brittain (and a lot of the people i work with as well), the hills and the lovely little villages.
