A drive across Exmoor

I drove over to Exmoor from South Somerset to see the heather in all it’s glory, it was a special “Day Out”

“A stunning blanket of bright purple heather on Porlock Hill yesterday, and clouds of heather flies (Bibio pomonae) revelling in its scent.”Jochen Langbein.

Liz Mitchell’s photo of an Exmoor foal on top of Exmoor’s heather-clad moor was one of the winning images in last year’s photo competition.

It is August, and Exmoor is covered in purple swaths of heather. Have a look at this breathtaking photo by John Spurr which was taken a few days ago.  We love this image so much that we have chosen it as the featured photo on our welcome page.
