Exmoor Memories: My favourite View

October 4, 2017Leave a comment

This just has to be my favourite place in the world – peaceful, beautiful with abundant wildlife to enjoy. Early morning walk across the moors, skylarks singing and the Exmoor ponies were just around the corner. Can’t wait to be back in October. This was in April.

Hallowe’en is coming….

Hitch a ride with us from Minehead…. into the deepest Exmoor, where mists rise from the valleys and ghosts linger behind trees. Bring a torch, and at the end of the path a totally gruesome dinner awaits you… but there might be other guests…. you will hear them… you will feel them… can you see them?

Join us for a totally gruesome Hallowe’en experience, served up with a delicious 3-course-dinner in one of Exmoor’s most picturesque settings. It’s all happening on 28 October 2017, starting at 6.30pm in Minehead….
