The region Peace, tranquillity and nature are available at Oare Manor Cottage and its surrounds in equal measure. Exmoor is truly a unique area in England where rugged coastline meets the outstanding beauty of the moors and surrounding countryside. Nothing else in England comes close to matching the fantastic contrasting scenery that you will find in this stunning place. Exmoor National Park is an area of 267 square miles and the valley in which the cottage sits is entirely peaceful with absolutely no noise or light pollution. You can sit in the garden and marvel at the complete peacefulness, the total lack of road noise, the absence of aircraft noise and a sense of tranquillity that is increasingly hard to find. From the rugged coastline that features the highest cliffs in England to the moors that rise up to 1500 ft this is not surprisingly a paradise for wild birds and animals. There is even the possibility of spotting one of the beasts of Exmoor, a breed of Big Cat closely associated with the Puma that is believed to be not merely present but quite probably increasing in number. Though seldom seen there are plenty of photographs of their footprints and evidence from farmers that the Big Cat is alive and well in this part of the world. But you are far more likely to see the wild red deer, the Exmoor Ponies that roam freely over the moor, kestrels, snipe, and along the coastline rare peregrine falcons, curlews and even oyster catchers. In the rivers you could be lucky enough to see otters which at one time were close to extinction but are now making a comeback.
