Westermill Farm★★★

Inspector comments
"Traditional camping in the heart of Exmoor."
Overview
Westermill Farm is an idyllic site for those seeking peace and quiet – it is in a sheltered valley in the heart of Exmoor and has won many awards for conservation. Highly recommended for traditional camping, although there are a few hardstandings. There's 15 acres of mown meadows beside the River Exe – one field has fire pits set up ready for a campfire which proves popular with families and friends for a get-together. There are four waymarked walks over the 500-acre working farm and two miles of shallow water of the River Exe to bathe or fish in (not coarse fishing). Self-catering accommodation is also available. An ideal base for exploring the open moorland, wooded valleys and spectacular coastal scenery of Exmoor, or just simply for relaxing and escaping the hum drum of everyday life. Please note, this site should only be approached from Exford (other routes are difficult).

About the area
Somerset remains rural and unspoiled, and ever popular areas to visit are the limestone and red sandstone Mendip Hills rising to over 1,000 feet, and by complete contrast, to the south and southwest, the flat landscape of the Somerset Levels. Another popular spot, the Quantocks, once the haunt of poets Coleridge and Wordsworth, are noted for their gentle slopes, heather-covered moorland expanses and red deer.
