The wild red deer of Exmoor wake readers with a vivid portrait of a living landscape.
This edition explores how the deer roam freely across a moorland that feels untouched by time, and how people observe, track, and understand them in their natural habitat.
The book frames the Exmoor region as a single, remarkable habitat—a place where deer move across hills, coombes, and hedged fields, often entering orchards and gardens at night. It blends field observation with a deep sense of place, showing how weather, geography, and centuries of wildlife presence shape life on the moor.
