Looking out on the tranquil, Sir George's Lake at Coombe Sydenham, near Monksilver, Exmoor, West Somerset.

Combe Sydenham Hall was once known chiefly for its connections with Sir Francis Drake, who married the daughter of the house. Today, Coombe Sydenham is the setting for mounting biking; the fishing on its three spring-fed trout lakes; and 4x4 / Quad biking. On a quiet day it's a nice spot for a stroll and a picnic.
