Director of Visitor Experience at South West Lakes Trust.

[Exmoor National Park @ExmoorNP]

All our gates, signs and stiles are handmade from wood through conservation management in our own woodlands, each travelling less than 25 miles from tree to final resting place.
Did you know you can donate a gate or even a tree through @CareMoor4Exmoor?

It is not fishing, it’s a way of life.

I’m learning a lot, very quickly about fishing, the fishing community and what fishing means to people in my new role.

This week we have opened our brown trout fisheries to the local community.

Our lakes are perfect places to stay socially distanced. No better place for a #MothersDay walk if you’re local! @RoadfordLake cafe is open for #takeaway too.

They have just launched a new Instagram account where you will see some great food, some great people & some great places

Starting from scratch, so please give them a follow..

We are whizzing around our sites putting down our reptile mats ready for the summer season. 🦎

Keep your eyes peeled for basking reptiles in the lovely spring sunshine and don’t forget to tell us if you see any on our sites at [email protected].

What a pile of *#?@

Not a frequent poster of poo pics, but this is exciting!

2019, we built a new “hot box” summer roost for lesser horseshoe bats at @WhealMartyn as part of the clayworks project. Whilst distracted in 2020, the bats moved in!

Our cafe at Roadford is now open for coffee and cake on a bench with a friend... and what a beautiful day for it.

“If you kick your feet, I’m sure it counts as exercise?”

Sometimes you just have to stop and take it all in.
