Snowdrop Valley
Each spring a valley in Exmoor erupts in a blaze of white snowdrops. A pleasant walk will take you up and down the valley which is accessible directly from Wheddon Cross or via a park and ride scheme that operates. This is just one example of the beauty of the region. Events like this happen throughout the year. Hedgerows splashed with waves of colour from primroses, foxgloves and a host of other wild plants.
