The Scenery around us

We are lucky to live in one of the most beautiful parts of the UK, something of a hidden gem and perfect for walkers and stargazers. We have almost 100 acres of our own private moorland with stunning views across the Bristol Channel to Wales. There are many exotic species of flora here, as well as the famous red deer of Exmoor. That's not to mention our chickens and mini-schnauzers.

Above the house, above the clouds

The View Quite simply, superb.	Two schnauzers Wilf and Dill take their security responsibilities very seriously, but they're softies really.	The Culbone Stone We'll tell you all about our 2nd/3rd century line of standing stones.
Robbers' Bridge Walk It's steep but well worth the effort.	Often above the clouds... Sometimes the clouds are way, way below us, creating this amazing effect.	Our private moorland Perfect for rambles and dog walks
Wooster smiling in the heather It's paradise for dogs - and people too, of course.	Spring Blossom Come earlier in the year and watch the place spring to life. We have snowdrops in late Jan, daffodils in March/April, Bluebells in April - and many other exciting plants.	Our Hammock A great place to relax at the top of our hill...
Strolls to hikes to treks... ...from your door. No need to drive to the walk, just walk.	Walk the Coleridge Way It goes right past our front door! And it's an adventure all year round....	Rhododendron Splendour in May Our Wild Garden is a botanist's paradise, with numerous exotic species flowering throughout the year.

You lookin' at me?	An Explosive Rododendron Our Rhodies, like this one over the stream, are stunning in May and June.	You're guaranteed a noisy welcome! Meet Wooster, our faithful hound.
Many great rambles nearby Stroll up the Oare Valley - it's wonderful in any weather.	Wooster He's the eminence grise of our mini schnauzers...	Wilf catches some rays...
Purple Rhodie Early Summer sees our Rhodies come into their own in a blaze of colour.	Gnarled Trees Our 'wild wood' was considered as a location for a 'Harry Potter' shoot!	Another Huge Rhodie There's a wealth of exotic flora all around us
