Exmoor

[puddleshark]

Picture taken from one of the roads that runs across the high ground of Exmoor, where there are sheep and Exmoor ponies and red Devon cattle roaming freely, and sometimes wandering along and across the road.

I was quite startled by Exmoor - by how high and how bleak the hills were. I suppose I was expecting something like the New Forest, or the Dorset heaths, with wide expanses of purple heather.

When I lived in Mid South Wales, I used to look out across the Estuary and mentally wave at Exmoor on clear days. (Many days it was just a shadow, if that).

It always seemed to loom lofty and remote, in comparison to fertile, Norman-baron-attracting Glamorgan -- not like a continuation of an interrupted landscape.
