The cliffs of North Devon, buffeted by the Atlantic waves, are widely held to offer the most breathtaking cliff scenery in the whole of Great Britain. These slate formations on the Bristol Channel, differing in age and color and often much weathered, are impressive in their grandiose beauty. This coastal area combines with the adjoining Exmoor, which rises to a height of 750ft/229m in Dunkery Beacon, to form a holiday region of great variety, from the lively seaside resorts on the Bristol Channel to the tiny and secluded villages in the heart of the moor.
Simonsbath takes its name from a pool in the Barle above the nearby bridge. It is a small village with traditional cottages located on the Two Moors Way footpath.
The 102-mile / 166 kilometer trail begins in Ivybridge in South Devon, passing over Dartmoor, near Widecombe-in-the-Moor and Chagford, continuing onto Exmoor and finally ending in Lynton on the North Devon coast.
The center offers BHS training in dressage, show jumping, cross-country riding and hacking. Riding holidays for unaccompanied girls 10 - 16 years as well as for full families are available. The horse trail meanders through sandy beaches and nearby woods.
Exmoor, fishing and golf courses are nearby.
