Exmoor National Park

Exmoor National Park pictures. Exmoor is a national park on the Bristol Channel, an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean. These pictures were taken in and around the villages of Lynton and Lynmouth, the latter situated on the seaside while the former is on top of a steep hill right next to it, offering great views of the surrounding hills and cliffs.

Please Shut All Gates - the sign implies this is a public right of way (ie. a public path crossing private land), but you need to check the map to be sure

The road leading down to the village of Lynmouth - it _is_ steep.

The village of Lynmouth - despite its popularity with tourists - has fortunately managed to avoid real estate developers

Beware of the sheep - and indeed, we did have a few surprise encounters with a few sheep that clearly didn't understand what we were doing on their road
