http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12914
The countryside here has an extraordinary wild beauty and whether you want to do some serious walking or just linger around Malmsmead, the village at the heart of the area, you won’t fail to share in the enchantment that inspired Blackmore to write his book.

There is a memorial stone to Blackmore on one of the footpaths and if you’re going to indulge in a cream tea, then Lorna Doone Farm is the place to have it while admiring the view over the little river valley.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12914 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12806
The walks in this area are spectacular, whether you follow the river path down to the sea or climb the cliff paths which cut narrow tracks along steep, heather-covered inclines.

This is a truly beautiful place to spend some time, just make sure that your car brakes are in good working order before you make the journey.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12806 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12041 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12041 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11876
From here, you can either rest and re-fuel before heading back, or continue along numerous paths that wind off further up through the forest. If it's a hot day, be sure to take a drink with you.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11876 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11860 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11860 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11667 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11667
