Escape to the Country - Exmoor National Park ...

Exmoor National Park is situated in the south west of the United Kingdom. It spreads across the north coast of Devon and West Somerset and was one of Britain's first National Parks.

Most of the 267 square miles (693 km²) of Exmoor is open heath and moorland. The highest point on Exmoor is Dunkery Beacon, at 1704 ft (519 m), also the highest point in Somerset.

Exmoor has 34 miles (55 km) of dramatic coastline including the highest sea cliffs in England. The South West Coast Path passes along these cliffs and was voted Britain's favourite trail in 2006.

Some moors are covered by a variety of grasses and sedges, while others are dominated by heather. Land is mainly used for livestock, although there are some areas which are cultivated such as the Brendon Hills.

Sheep have grazed on the moors for more than 3000 years and traditional breeds include Exmoor Horn, Cheviot and Whiteface Dartmoor and Greyface Dartmoor sheep. Devon red cattle are also farmed in the area.

Exmoor ponies can be seen roaming freely on the moors. They are a race rather than a breed of pony, and are the closest breed remaining in Europe to Wild Horses. The ponies are rounded up once a year to be marked and checked over.

Red deer have a stronghold on the moor and can be seen on quiet hillsides in remote areas, particularly in the early morning.

The famous Beast of Exmoor is reputed to haunt the moor, with many sightings since the 1960s. It is possibly a Cougar or Black Leopard which was released sometime in the 1960s or 1970s after a law passed making it illegal for them to be kept in captivity outside zoos. It has been blamed for many sheep kills over the years.

The moorland habitat is also home to hundreds of species of birds and insects. Birds seen on the moor include Merlin, Buzzard, Peregrine Falcon, Eurasian Curlew, European Stonechat, Dipper, Dartford Warbler and Ring Ouzel.

Sydney Council Elections 2012: Surry Hills terrace house rates doubled
When Sydney and South Sydney Councils were merged ratepayers were led to believe rates would come down. Rates on a Surry Hills terrace house have doubled, e.g. from around $750.00 per annum in 2003-04 to over $1500.00 today, while many resident amenities (e.g. garbage collection and on-street parking) have been slashed by Clover Moore's globe-trotting Council. How do council election candidates propose to reverse this shameless hi-jacking of ratepayers' funds for extravagant political stunts?
