Heritage coasts - Exmoor
Towering cliffs overlook the Bristol Channel, where the moors meet the sea. England's highest coastline - with its unique rounded 'hogs-back' cliffs (at their grandest near Combe Martin) make this a landscape of distinctive splendour.
Steep wooded 'combes' cut down to the shore, and where oak woods have grown down the cliffs, woodland and seashore life share a rare coexistence on the pebble beaches. The Heritage Coast is part of, and managed within, the Exmoor National Park (www.exmoor-nationalpark.gov.uk/).
