Fungi Magic in Autumn, a Circular Walk - Visit Lynton & Lynmouth

Fungi Magic in Autumn

This week’s circular pub walk is a short 2 1/2 mile walk from Watersmeet, up through Barton Wood for a fungi foray amongst the beech nuts & then Trilley Wood, Trilley’s Ridge to the Blue Ball & back down Chiselcombe.

No photos of the great views this time as I had my head down looking through the leaf litter but the view are looking pretty spectacular as the Autumn colours are just starting to show.

Also in, Barton Wood, I came across 2 skulls together. One was definitely a crow but I’m not sure what the mammal skull with it was from.

In Trilley Wood, I found a kestrel’s wing which is a shame as it will be from the family of 3 kestrels I’ve been watching all summer hunting between Countisbury and Barna Barrow – what would be able to catch a kestrel?

Finally, in the fields coming over Trilley’s Ridge, I came across a Devil’s coach horse scurrying through the grass.

Enjoy your Autumn in Exmoor!

Riverside self catering accommodation on Exmoor. Sitting in a truly special setting right on the bank of the beautiful East Lyn River, the Lodge at Myrtleberry offers comfortable self catering accommodation for up to six people (additional accommodation can sometimes be made available for larger groups up to 11 people - please enquire). It sits in a large open garden on a wide bend of the river, surrounded by oak woodlands on steep hillsides; it is almost the only property in the dramatic National Trust owned Watersmeet Valley. As seen on 'Britain's Best Walks' with Julia Bradbury.
