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.

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.

The Gathering

“What an amazing day yesterday at the Withypoole Herd 23 Gathering! Watching them appear over the horizon was incredible — and I even got the iconic shot as they crossed the River Barle. Things got a little spicy in the collecting pen between the two stallions in the herd.”
By Ian Hampton.
