  • Adventures at Longlands Adventures on Exmoor & North Devon
    Adventures at Longlands Longlands has a boating lake and 2 skiffs: Oxford & Cambridge, so you can race around the island in your very own Boat Race! Each boat can take one adult and one child. Life jackets of varying sizes are provided. There are stream walks and nature trails in our woods, and lots of sticks with which to practice den building. We have a number of outdoor games including petanque/boules, cricket, rounders and badmington, all of which can be played in the lakeside meadow. There is a football goal on the football field, a cricket net above it and a basketball & netball hoop near the Larder. So score a goal, hit a run or shoot a hoop! Our streamside and woodland walks are very sheltered, so are excellent for rainy days. Bug hunt along the stream, discover animal tracks and perhaps even spot deer in the woods. Our shop is stocked with lots of adventure kits including Bug Hunting, Ponding dipping, Bird spotting and even Den kits and kites! Within the lodges themselves we have a box of favourite family games including Monopoly, Scrabble, Cluedo, Risk, Jengo, Dominoes, Uno & playing cards, and in the Larder you’ll find plenty of books to borrow. Next to the Longlands Larder there is a covered area with Table Tennis & Giant Jenga and within the shop itself there are colouring and activity books to provide endless entertainment even on the wettest of days. Exmoor is the best place for stargazing in the UK, according to the Campaign for Dark Skies. In fact it is the first designated International Dark Sky Reserve in Europe - and Longlands looks directly on to it - Definitely worth staying up for on a clear night.

According to the latest survey, it contains 1,655,161 acres or 2586 square miles. In its general aspect nearly the whole area of Devon- shire is uneven and hilly. It contains the highest land in England, south of the Peak of Derbyshire; and the scenery, much varied, is in most parts of the county very striking and picturesque. One of its principal feat- ures is the granitic district of Dartmoor, so named from the principal river which rises on it, the Dart, and occupy- ing an area of about 130,000 acres.

They provide a visual presentation of the spatial distribution of the larger currently licensed water abstractions within defined catchments. Also shown are NRA monitoring sites for Flood Warning, Rainfall, Climate, Groundwater Status and Flow Gauging Sites. Information is current for the date displayed. The inclusion of reference numbers enables data to be accessed easily for further details as required, either internally or externally. When used in conjunction with the Water Quality Maps and Index, (report FWP/92/001) they provide a compatible display of 'activities' (within catchments). It has been necessary to display the information in two separate reports for clarity. Most abstractors of natural (non-mains) water supplies are required to hold a Licence under the Water Resources Act 1991. There are however some significant exceptions to this principle, the main ones are listed below * Abstractions from groundwater for own private domestic use where quantity is less than 20 cubic metres per day. * Abstractions from inland waters (surface water) on abstractors own property for either agricultural and/or own private domestic use, provided that the aggregate quantity for those uses is less than twenty cubic metres per day.

    North Devon Coast Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty Silver, Smoke and Strawberries ‘A self-guided, circular, 6 mile walk around Combe Martin Photo by Andrew Wheatley North Devon Coast Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty Created by the North Devon Coast Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) team with the help of: Jenny Lunn, Royal Geographical Society Pat Chesterton, Combe Martin Museum Combe Martin Miners Combe Martin Walk and Talk Group 2 Contents Introduction 4 Route Map 5 Practical Information 6 The Walk 8 3 Silver, Smoke and Strawberries Discover this historic hive of industry on the North Devon Coast This walk through the North Devon Coast Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) is a six mile, circular route that takes you on a journey through Combe Martin's industrial heritage.While you walk you will be looking at evidence that can still be found, to this day, of industry in the landscape. Combe Martin's heritage is different to that of its neighbouring towns, in that its remoteness and industry, which left it a 'shammick' of a town, dirty and industrial, meant that it was not visited by tourists until relatively recently. In the landscape today you can see evidence of silver mines, lime burning, maritime industries and market gardening, all the while taking in the beautiful coastal landscape of North Devon. As we walk thorough Combe Martin, names, buildings and fields reveal the industrial past of Combe Martin. 4 © Crown copyright.All rights reserved Practical Information Location: Combe Martin, North Devon, UK Start and finish point is Lime Kiln car park, Cross Street, EX34 0DH Grid reference of start point is SS 57775 47266 Getting there: Car - from the east, take the A361 then the A399 to Combe Martin.
