Dunkery Beacon, I believe has good views. Thumbs Up
Areas near the river Barle are also lovely.
Also if your down there you might want to drop by Devon 4x4, it's a stones throw from South Molton, just below Exmoor. Wink
The Doone valley is also worth a trip though, especially the two fords to cross if you choose to.
Beware the one next to Robbers bridge has a little bit of a steep drop in and out but a Def has no trouble with it.

You can also ford the river at Tarr steps too, water level would be low I'd imagine at the moment.

Enjoy I'll be heading down there in a few weeks too. Thumbs Up Thumbs Up
It's one of my favourite places.

Thanks guys,

Im planning on getting the front prop shaft changed at D4x4 as i dont have time to source a spare up here. hopefully i get down there without any issues.

Thanks for the suggestions and i'll certainly look into it!
