  • 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.

  • Chapter 4 Culm Basin E.C. FRESHNEY, B.E. LEVERIDGE, R.A. WATERS & C.N
    Culm Basin 27/02/2012 Chapter 4 Culm Basin E.C. FRESHNEY, B.E. LEVERIDGE, R.A. WATERS & C.N. WATERS To the south of the Mississippian platform carbonate successions of South Wales (Chapter 5) and Bristol, Mendips and Somerset (Chapter 6), Carboniferous rocks predominantly occur within the strongly deformed Culm synclinorial belt of South- west England. The Culm Basin has a broad graben architecture, with an inner graben (Central Devon Sub-basin) flanked by half-grabens (Bideford and Launceston sub- basins) (Fig. 4.1; Leveridge & Hartley 2006; Waters et al. 2009). The Bideford Sub- basin is bounded to the north by the Brushford Fault, the Central Devon Sub-basin by the Greencliff Fault and the Launceston Sub-basin by the Rusey Fault. To the north of the Brushford Fault is the Northern Margin of the Culm Basin. The Tavy Basin has limited development of Famennian to Tournaisian strata. The High separating the Tavy Basin and Launceston Sub-basin includes a Tournaisian to ?Visean succession (Yeolmbridge and Laneast Quartzite formations). Remnants of Carboniferous strata also occur in the South Devon Basin. In many areas there is no clear lithological break between the Tournaisian and the underlying Upper Devonian rocks, both of which are dominated by shallow marine and deeper water mudstones. The succession, commonly referred to as the Transition Series or Group (Dearman & Butcher 1959; Freshney et al. 1972), are assigned to the Exmoor Group in north Devon, the Hyner Mudstone and Trusham Mudstone formations of the eastern part of the Central Devon Sub-basin and the Tamar Group in south Devon.

Some Economic Aspects of the Beef Cattle Industry in the West of England Report No. 2 Cattle Rearing and Milk Production in the Upland Area of S.W. Somerset 1 9 s 2 - 53 by R. R. JEFFERY Price 51- „ Some Economic Aspects of the Beef Cattle Industry in the West of England Report No. 2 Beef Store Cattle Rearing and Milk Production in the Upland Area of S.W. Somerset I 9 5 2 - 5 3 by R. R. JEFFERY November '954 Acknowledgement This opportunity is gratefully accepted to acknowledge the extreme helpfulness and unfailing courtesy of those Brendon Hills and Exmoor farmers who co-operated with this Depart- ment in making available so readily the large amount of detailed information involved in this investigation. A special debt of gratitude is due to a number of farmers for whom this present investigation represents the third consecutive year of participation in survey work of an exacting and protracted nature. 255 Introduction THIS investigation forms the second in a series designed to cover, ultimately, the main systems of beef cattle production in the West of England. The previous survey* carried out in 1950-51 showed the rearing of beef stores, as practised in the upland marginal farming areas of N.W. Hereford, to be an unprofitable enterprise. Since that time however store cattle prices have advanced considerably, while a special Production Grant payable at the rate of flO per head on eligible cows on upland rearing farms has been introduced, developments which together must have raised considerably the returns from store cattle rearing in these areas.
