The new 4km trail follows the edge of the lake between the tearoom parking area and the majestic Dam and aims to encourage people to leave their cars, and go for a short walk.
Along the trail are a number of sculptures, including willow figures by renown local artist Stephen Froom, and interpretation points to stimulate walkers to think about the landscape, and some of the activities that are conducted on and around the lake, as well as some of the historical aspects of an upland Exmoor Valley.
The Trail winds through a mixture of habitats; from open tussocky grassland, past ancient hedgerows, traditional coppice management plots where dormice can be found, and into an area of semi-natural Oak woodland where a bat monitoring programme has been long established.
The idea is to discover the different habitats that will eventually lead to high forest.
