Snowdrop Valley 2008

This hidden valley is owned by the Badgworthy Land Company and is an ESA (Environmentally Sensitive Area) and situated on the River Avill.

Over the last few years the Exmoor National Park Authority has run a very successful Park and Ride scheme from Wheddon Cross to Snowdrop Valley enabling visitors to reach the valley without having to take their cars down the narrow country lanes that lead to it. This year the scheme will be run by Cutcombe Parish Council in conjuction with ENPA, Badgworthy Land Company and Exmoor Farmers.
