A weekend in Exmoor

Okay it's February, not the best time to go away for the weekend, but an opportunity for us to get out and about in the Exmoor area to check out possible places we might like to relocate to by next September, if I have anything to do with it anyway.

We stayed on the Somerset side of Exmoor and the view we encountered upon arrival was what looked like dense fog but was actually low cloud. 


Not to deter us off we went after check in to explore a bit more of the local area.

Late Friday afternoon in Watchet.

The harbour wall, eaten away by Limpets
Saturday morning saw a brief break in the clouds up by the hotel.



Then off for the day to the villages, moors and beaches.

Sunday and time to go home, but a quick stop off in Dunster and I've found an area that I could quite happily live near to.

There was a sign for the Yarn Market, I have to admit I was a bit disappointed when I saw this was an old building....

Perfect!
