Exmoor consists of wide expanses of heather and rich woodland all of
which are greatly enhanced by its varied wildlife.
It has the West
Country's largest population of red deer, which frequent its woodland
and moors and yet it remains less visited and less popular than the two
other great uplands of south-west England - Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor.
While it might not be as accessible or as dramatic, Exmoor is an area
that once explored invariably inspires devotion and enthusiasm. The
walks in this guide introduce the visitor to the wide variety of
Exmoor's features, from the Valley of Rocks with its jagged sandstone
tors to richly-wooded valleys.
