Once again the scheme will be run by Cutcombe Parish Council in conjuction with ENPA, Badgworthy Land Company and Exmoor Farmers.

Wear appropriate clothing and footwear for winter walking.
Allow at least 1 � hours for return trip.
Carpeted with Snowdrops each February, this hidden valley deep in the heart of Exmoor forms a glorious backdrop to the River Avill.
