We’ve all enjoyed the wintry scenes across the UK and North Devon hasn’t missed out. The skies have been crystal clear and the views across Exmoor are breathtaking. What could be nicer than a brisk winter walk -then snuggling down in front of a real fire, making a Christmas wish list!
Open 10am – 5pm.
Rosemoor’s second winter sculpture exhibition runs throughout December and continues into the New Year with an exciting mix of thought provoking work from a diverse colletion of British sculptors, spread throughout the Garden. Pick up a free catalogue from the Front Entrance and see how many pieces you can discover. Many of the pieces exhibited are for sale.

We’re all very excited about our partnership with the North Devon Biosphere. Next month we are having a trip out to the tarka Trail where it looks like our donations will go towards enhancing this amazing cycle route.
Went for a fantastic walk on Woolacombe beach. The wind through my hair, the beautiful blue sky above, and plenty of fresh sea air - then back home for a hearty tea!
