Hiya folks,

How are you all doing?.

Any info / locals on the above areas?.

We are on hols there for a month in July/Aug this year and am looking for a few days out for me and my daughter to take some wildlife shots.

Any ideas or info would be great.

Cheers

Rob

There is already a thread on here asking about places to visit on Exmoor which may be of help

I hope this link works

Try the Stoke Pero and Cloutsham areas for red deer.

Find Porlock on an OS map and look inland slightly to a partly wooded/partly open moorland area. You can almost draw a circle from Horner/Horner Woods, Ley Hill, Stoke Pero and Cloutsham. Deer can often be seen from the road here but you can get closer to them with care.

I hope you can understand this and manage to find the area!

Thankyou, managed both! I've been in the area many times and have never seen deer but I will look more closely now
