Meet at Pinkery to uncover the Bronze Age legacy of Exmoor and learn about the lives of its ancient inhabitants. As dusk settles, we will embark on a unique twilight walking experience across the sweeping moorland of Exmoor, connecting two ancient sites under the stars: Wood Barrow and The Chains Barrow.  Two small groups will embark on separate paths to each barrow. Once in position, we’ll light up the landscape—literally—by flashing our torches across the distances between us, forming a triangle of living light. After the walk, warm up with delicious hot chocolates back at Pinkery, surrounded by good company and shared wonder. Reasonable level of fitness required, walks will be on uneven ground and approximately 5km in distance. Please bring waterproof/sturdy footwear, appropriate clothing and torch. Free but donations to CareMoor appreciated. Booking required.
