When it comes to photogenic places in Devon, the Exmoor National Park is one of the best. The region covers most of North Devon’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has some incredible sites and views for you to enjoy, whether you want to soak it up in person or head somewhere to take photos to look back on. When restrictions are lifted and we’re able to move around more, here are some of Exmoor’s most photogenic places.

This area is managed by the National Trust and has incredible water falls as well as a mythical atmosphere.
Valley of the Rocks
As well as the amazing rock formations, this area outside of Lynton and Lynmouth is also home to a herd of feral goats!
Brendon Common
This is one of the best places to go on the moor to see open greenery and wildflowers.
Longstone
Exmoor is full of ancient remains from the Bronze Age, including barrows. This is one such remainder of that time. Set in the middle of a bog, the stone is about nine feet tall and is thought to be something to do with the nearby Barrows, Longstone and Chapman Barrows.

In the summer, Exmoor hosts an annual Dark Skies Festival. The whole moor is a Dark Skies Reserve and you’ll find some of the clearest skies in the UK.
These are just some of the most beautiful places in Exmoor and North Devon – you can find out more about the region here.
Don’t forget, the UK is still under a national lockdown, though restrictions are starting to be lifted. Please do not visit Exmoor or other areas of Devon until government guidance allows travel. You can find the latest information about lockdown restrictions and the timeline to them being lifted at gov.uk/coronavirus.
