April photo of the month

A drover’s tale

by Chris Metcalfe

Exmoor has beauty in many forms, changing with the seasons and the weather. For our photo of the month, Chris Metcalfe captured this dramatic view as part of a short video he created called ‘Which way now’ for local farmer John Richards (@jr_richards_yarner).

“John invited me to make a film of his beautiful Exmoor Horn sheep coming home over the heights of Exmoor for the winter,” Chris told Molton Monthly. “I was privileged to capture this iconic scene. It shows just how special Exmoor Horns are and displays the best of Exmoor.”

You can watch the 10 minute video on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=M542cIAQYmE
