We will plan your walk to give the maximum chance of seeing wildlife, including the native Exmoor Red Deer, Exmoor ponies and the fabulous Highland cattle that have been introduced to graze the moor……come in Spring when the woolly calves and foals make irresistable photo opportunities.
Exmoor Horn lambs have to be up there amongst the cutest yet with their “little devil” horn buds and the moorland birds on Exmoor include plentiful buzzards, meadow pipits and skylarks as well as the less common such as the beautiful Hen harrier which is increasingly being seen on Exmoor.
We can also create a safari to take in archeological sites, industrial heritage or picturesque churches or iron age hill forts….just let us know where your interests lie.
