The Arlington Court estate is located on the edge of Exmoor and is home to wide collection of treasures from model ships to shells to a complete carriage museum! It benefits from its rural location having access to fantastic dark skies above and is thus a host to stargazing events particularly during the annual Exmoor Dark Skies Festival.
