Dunkery Beacon
About Dunkery
A wonderful moorland site managed and owned by the National Trust. It has a chain of summits capped with Bronze Age barrows and is Exmoor's highest point at 1,705ft (519m). An ideal site for school groups with amazing views overlooking Devon and Somerset and across to Wales. Classroom and field learning resources focus upon:
Access
Bronze age landscapes
Flora and Fauna, such as Red Deer and Heather
Footpath management studies

The Impact of tourism
There are easy walks to the summit, parking for coaches and with facilities close by.
