The Farm
Higher Bodley is the perfect place to relax and unwind, if you are an enthusiastic walker, cyclist or horse rider or just discerning wildlife and nature lover. Higher Bodley has it all with easy walks direct from the farm or longer walks over Exmoor or on the coast path, which take in some of the breath taking views of the rugged Exmoor coast and the far reaching views across the Bristol Channel to Wales.

For the cyclist there are numbered rides and lots of rough moorland tracks for the more Adventurous.
Horse riding also plays a major part of Exmoor life, with fabulous riding on the moors, if you wish to bring your own horse we have super stabling and can provide straw and homegrown haylage. There are many bridle paths direct from the farm, and happy to provide directions for longer day rides. Our own horses are kept on the premises.
