Natural – Handmade – Pure
The Riverside Project is a ‘not for profit organisation’ seeking to demonstrate how you can sustainably manage a woodland to produce green wood for working whilst at the same time maximising opportunities for wildlife to thrive.
The project is based on a 3.5 acre site in Brompton Regis on the banks of the River Pulham.
There will be opportunities for volunteers to assist with on-site conservation tasks such as coppicing, hedge laying and riverside management which benefit species such as Wrens, Tawny Owls, Kingfishers, Red Deer, Roe Deer Hedgehogs, Slow Worms and Trout which are all found on site as well as surveying the flora and fauna that the site attracts throughout the year.
Rupert Smith Wildlife Photography
I am a wildlife cameraman, photographer and film maker based on Exmoor in the UK. I have credits for over 50 TV programs on BBC2, BBC4, ITV, C4 and others.
Having spent most of my life growing up in the wilds of Devon, Exmoor is a place I know intimately. My wildlife photography is all with wild animals and birds and for me finding the wildlife, learning about it and respecting it is just as important as “getting the shot”. I quite often take no photographs when others would disturb an animal just to get their shot. Through this approach all my images from Exmoor are unique and I have gained a great understanding of wildlife behaviour and appreciate the animals birds and reptiles that all have to share their space with us on the doorstep.
Homemade authentic gelato. Made on the edge of Exmoor with love and care.
We are a small family run business based from our home here on the Holnicote National Trust Estate in Selworthy. Living on Exmoor all our lives, we moved to the village of Selworthy 3 years ago.
Making our preserves all began with an abundance of home grown Runner Beans & an old family recipe.
We established The Selworthy Pantry in November 2019. We love to grow our own fruit and vegetables and have learnt to become quite self sufficient. We use our home grown fruit & vegetables in all our preserves, plus what our fellow gardener friends offer us. We like to pride ourselves that we use only the most freshest & local ingredients whenever we possibly can. Everything is done in our cottage kitchen, and we only ever cook in small batches to ensure we keep the true authentic homemade taste. We do everything by hand, from stirring the pot to labelling the jars.
Simply Hide creates leather bags and accessories individually by hand, using time honoured techniques. Using vegetable tanned leather, no two products are identical, each item will soften and age with use, darkening and developing a patina which is unique to the item. Hand crafted in Dulverton.

We restore, strengthen and connect habitats and green spaces on a landscape scale so nature can recover and thrive in the future. We inspire people and communities to put nature into their everyday life and stand up for the natural environment upon which we all depend.
