The name 'Exmoor' conjures mental images of ponies, undulating moorland, and Lorna Doone, R D Blackmore's 1869 novel.
It crosses the Somerset and Devon border, hugging the north Devon coast, and takes its name from the River Exe.
A wild and beautiful place, designated a national park in 1954, Exmoor is home to a whole range of folklore.
Witches, ghosts, pixies, superstitions, and the famous Beast of Exmoor - the park features them all. Let's investigate some of these tales further in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
