Our verdict
Proper Exmoor emptiness. Pair it with Tarr Steps along the Barle and you've built one of the great Somerset days.
Classic open Exmoor common rolling down to the River Barle, with barrows on the skyline and sheep-cropped turf underfoot.
Open access land under the Countryside & Rights of Way Act. You're free to roam on foot beyond the paths. Dogs on a short lead 1 March to 31 July and around livestock.
