Exmoor
Somerset's wild moors
Exmoor is a moorland region in southwest England, spanning parts of Devon and Somerset.
The upland plateau features heather-covered hills, wooded valleys, and a rugged coastline.
Exmoor is known for its wild ponies, a hardy breed that has roamed the area for centuries.
We spent a week hiking across Exmoor.
