Exmoor, United Kingdom
Moor to love
As you may have guessed from the name, the region of Exmoor in south-west England is known for its expansive moorlands. Besides its signature heaths, Exmoor contains blanket bogs and ancient woodlands within its more than 7,000 hectares. And as shown in our image, Exmoor includes land long settled and cultivated – here we see fields and houses on a ridge overlooking Porlock Bay. This area is part of Exmoor's 692 square kilometres set aside in 1954 as a national park. Folks have long liked living in the Exmoor area – it's been populated since at least the Mesolithic era.
People have lived in this region of blanket bogs, ancient woods and expansive heaths since the Stone Age.
