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:

The River Barle near Withypool

“I spent an incredible three days walking the last 30 miles of the Devon to coast/ two moors way trail, over this weekend. Barely a cloud in the sky and soaring temperatures ! Amazing autumnal colours were the highlight of the trek. This photo is some stepping stones across the river Barle, not far from Withypool.”  Rob Parsons
