For nature lovers, deer and wild ponies roam the moor above, and many birds live along the River Exe, which winds through the village. For anyone that loves to stargaze, Exmoor National Park is an International Dark Sky Reserve and home to some of the darkest skies in the country. On a clear night, the night sky of Exmoor is absolutely stunning, with many astronomical sights viewable with the naked eye. For hikers and cyclists, there are miles are footpaths plus there are opportunities for horse riding and fishing too. The famous 12th century thatched Royal Oak Inn is in the 'centre' of the village, it serves great food and is family friendly.
