Wessex Attractions: Heddon Valley

Exmoor’s Heddon Valley was a favourite landscape of the Romantic Poets, and is now under the care of the National Trust. From its coastal paths, one can see across to South Wales on a clear day, and it contains several valuable butterfly habitats. The River Heddon itself is well populated with native brown trout, and the Trust manages an inn, the Hunter’s Inn, where food is served.

The satnav postcode is EX31 4PY, and the valley is on Regional Cycle Route 51. Sadly, it is not well-served by public transport, and the nearest bus stop is two miles away, near Parracombe.
