Amongst the Bluebells on Exmoor

Bluebells are looking fabulous in Burrow Wood, Winsford this morning. Out of the wind in there too so it was lovely.

A rare day of Sunshine on Exmoor

After 50 odd days of rain sunshine and blue skies made a rare (and short) appearance on Exmoor in early March. Local photographer Adrian Campbell has been out and about. These are the photos he shared with us:

Dancing lights over Exmoor

Last week (19/20 January 2026) the Aurora returned to Exmoor with a beautiful lightshow, captured by several photographers across our region. Here are some images taken at the Valley of Rocks by Neil Davey (post image) and Susan Ragbourne.

New in the shop: Exmoor Fleece Gilets

After a nerve wrecking week, our online shop finally went back online yesterday.

Today a new product joined our Exmoor Clothing range: A beautiful fleece gilet in countryside colours, complete with our embroidered Exmoor logo. It comes in sizes XS (women only) to 3XL, and even has pockets (with zips)!

All our products are embroidered locally by a very small family business – and every single item is made to order. Hence it might take up to 3 weeks before the parcel arrives at your house.

Have a look at the range:

If you like what you see and would like to support us to continue sharing photos and stories, we’d be delighted about a coffee or two.

Time for hats and gloves…

Nothing like being on the top of Holdstone Down in a brisk NNW for sunset..without gloves and hat🥶

A beautiful morning in Dunster

For one day, the rain stopped and blue skies stretched over Exmoor. Adrian Campbell took the opportunity to visit Dunster. Here are his photos.
