Exmoor4all 2017 Calendar: April

I was extremely grateful that I was able to capture this very rare moment of Lynton and Lynmouth engulfed in evening sea mist. It was a truly magical moment that me and my nan shared. I don’t think any view on this planet will top what we were able to see. One of the many reasons why I’m lucky to call Lynton and Lynmouth home.

On the lower slopes of Dunkery,  the sky was dense with the black and heavy clouds of a passing storm. It was close to sunset and the low disappearing sun produced an intense golden light in stark and dramatic contrast to the dark brooding skies, in an unfolding drama of light and dark. Enigmatic and wild Exmoor at its best!

I am so thrilled to have had a photo chosen.  All the photos were really lovely and any one one of them could have been chosen. I just love the micro climate and the lichen – it is so very typical of Exmoor. It always brings a smile to my face when I find some.
Thank you.

Sharon Scott.

I think the photo was taken near Winsford Hill. We were on our way back from Lynton & Lynmouth after we had snow. We love that area so much that we spend a lot of time there & always make our way back to Dulverton then on to Bampton/Stoodleigh.

We have a real love of the ponies, deer & of course the scenery.

Let it snow!

A few days ago Exmoor saw the first snow on top of the moor.  In places it was quite deep, in others it just lightly dusted the landscape.  On a miserable day like today, when Storm Angus unleashes torrential rain on the moor, causing flooding in many areas, it is nice to just look at the beautiful photos shared with us by our followers.

The reservoir in the catchment area of Horner Water is a quiet spot, not normally used for sport apart from private trout fishing.  People not familiar with the layout of the land will find it difficult to spot the reservoir from the road as it lies in a deep valley.
