 Work is underway to better link tourism and conservation on Exmoor, with a range of new experiences.

A new Exmoor Awareness workshop has taken place to 'support the development of new wildlife and nature tourism experiences'.

The workshop was aimed at those working at the frontline of Exmoor’s visitor economy and land management and looked at things like 'changes in visitor expectations' and ideas for new initiatives.

Dan James, Enterprise and Communications Manager at Exmoor National Park Authority, said: “Tourism and land management are at the heart of Exmoor’s landscape, communities and economy.

"This event is about supporting the people who make Exmoor what it is, from farmers and landowners to tourism and activity providers.

"Together we will explore how we can work together to build on these opportunities at the same time as protecting the very assets that we depend upon to support a future tourism that is resilient, regenerative and good for both people and place.”
