The article discusses the opening of bothies by the National Trust in North Devon, emphasizing their role in encouraging people to engage with nature affordably. It details the simple yet charming accommodations available, like Heddon Orchard and West Challacombe, which are bookable for low-cost stays. These bothies allow visitors to explore local trails and pubs without requiring a car, making it easier to immerse oneself in the natural scenery of Exmoor. The effort by the National Trust underlines the commitment to preserving accessible outdoor experiences.
"Bothies are more often associated with Scotland. But since 2015, the National Trust has opened a scattering of bookable camps with walls in the south-west, including Heddon Orchard and Foreland."
"The bothies are about getting more people into nature -- we're fighting to keep affordable accommodation down here," said Amy U'Ren, the National Trust's Volunteering & Community Officer for West Exmoor.
