    This spot is perfect for taking a breather, looking around, and enjoying the incredible views towards the Punchbowl. According to legend, when Thor tried to strike the Devil with thunder and lightning, the Devil attempted to counterattack by throwing a handful of earth back at him, thus creating the Devil's Punch Bowl. Legends aside, researches conducted on the area suggests that it is a small glacial cirque basin.

      Incredible colors, everything glows! It's quite lonely here, it's pleasant to walk across the meadows... Exmoor at its best

        The Legend of the Devil's Punch Bowl

        This tormented Thor, God of Thunder, who lived at nearby Thor's Lie (Thursley). When Thor tried to strike the Devil with thunder and lightning, the Devil retaliated by scooping up a handful of earth and hurling it at Thor. The depression that remained is the Devil's Punch Bowl.
