Many voices over many years have echoed through the Hoar Oak Valley on Exmoor.
Here is a chance to add yours!
Thanks to a Heritage Lottery All Our Stories Grant two local charities based in the Hoar Oak Valley on Exmoor will be collecting, sharing and celebrating peoples’ memories and stories of the Hoar Oak Valley. The Friends of Hoar Oak Cottagewww.hoaroakcottage.org and the St Mary Lyncombe Trust which runs the Exmoor Centre http://exmoorcentre.co.uk are asking for your help.
