Barle Valley Safaris

Barle Valley Safaris was founded in 1998 by Alison Simms and Duncan Waller with one Land Rover operating from Dulverton. Entering its' tenth season the firm now takes passengers from Dulverton, Dunster and Minehead and carries 2,000 visitors a year to explore the Exmoor National Park.

Our spacious 110 Land Rover takes leisurely trails of discovery through steeply wooded valleys, by clear rushing rivers and over the dramatic windswept moors.

Using seldom frequented tracks and ancient byeways inaccessible by car, we search out the elusive red deer and famous Exmoor ponies in their natural environment.

Your driver describes the many aspects of the countryside while pointing out fauna and flora along the way. There are stops to look at things of interest and plenty of opportunities for photography.

A typical tour lasts about three hours and is suitable for all age groups.

The safaris cover the areas popularised by local character Johnny Kingdom in his BBC2 series 'A Year on Exmoor'.
