This year, Exmoor celebrates the 70th anniversary of its designation as a National Park - and the 10th anniversary of the Exmoor Hill Farming Network (EHFN).

To mark these milestones, EHFN together with the Exmoor Society, have commissioned Exmoor Farms : A Year on the Moor, a photographic book and exhibition that will explore what it means to farm this beautiful corner of the UK’s uplands in the 21st century.

The project spans a farming year and includes profiles of farms, together with portraits of the people who live and work on them, and accounts of the activities, markets and shows that fill the year, highlighting the successes and challenges experienced.

Pop into Exmoor National Park Centre, Lynmouth to see some of the stunning photos from the book taken by Eleanor Davis. Open 10am – 5pm seven days a week (closed Christmas Day and Boxing Day)

You can meet author Victoria Eveleigh on Saturday 7^th and Sunday 8^th December between 10.30am and 12.30am.
