Sunshine, singing birds, babbling brooks and the first shoots of green on the hedges along the lanes – topped by the most brilliant blue sky. This is Exmoor today.

…. putting Tarr Steps together again…

Today the work started at rebuilding Exmoor’s iconic clapper bridge at Tarr Steps. Fortunately all the stones, which were swept away in a flood a few weeks ago, are numbered.

“We were nominated for a “Rural Oscar” by some of our Pips Club Members, for this years prestigious Countryside Alliance Awards. I’m thrilled to tell you that we have been crowned – South West of England Champions 2012 (start up category). We are through to the National Final, March 13th where we will proudly represent Exmoor. It is incredibly rewarding to be recognised for celebrating the very best of Exmoor. ”
