Exmoor is defined by the extent of the National Park which covers Somerset and Devon. It covers 265 square miles and inside these boundaries lie some of the finest countryside in England. Most of it is owned by the National Trust. There are about 10,000 people live there, most in small villages, and with only four places large enough to call a town. There are very few roads but there is 600 miles of public footpaths. The main character of it, is the Plateau's of red sandstone and slate on which it stands. The most spectacular scenery is on the coast, where the Plateau meets the sea, here is some of the most beautiful stretches of coastline you could wish to see. The moors are inland, including Exmoor Forest which is about 30 square miles, centred in Simonsbath in Somerset. It is full of wildlife including a hardy race of horned sheep, buzzards, wild red deer and the famous exmoor ponies.
