River Barle, Simonsbath | A frosty morning where Exmoor feels truly wild.
Mist rising off the River Barle as the first light catches the frost-covered banks below Simonsbath. This is Exmoor at its most atmospheric — remote, still, and impossibly beautiful. The Barle Valley walk from Simonsbath to Tarr Steps is one of England's finest riverside trails.
