Places of Interest
- Larkbarrow
The ruins of this isolated farm were used for firing practice during World War II. It is surrounded by miles of open, rolling grass moorland, and is one of the best places to experience remoteness and tranquility on Exmoor. A track runs through from Alderman's Barrow or Larkbarrow Corner to Badgworthy Water, and there is open access to this boggy and tussocky terrain.
