Three photographers have teamed up with Exmoor National Park Authority to create a library of free images of the area.

Sarah Hailstone, Nigel Stone, and Shaun Davey have launched Exmoor Commons to showcase the beauty of the park, which covers parts of Somerset and Devon.

The pictures are available for free for businesses and organisations to help promote the area and attract visitors.

There are currently 1,125 photographs now available in the collection.

Mr Davey says he hopes sharing the photographs will help promote Exmoor

"It's a win-win situation for both the photographers involved and the users of the images," said Mr Davey.

"The users of the images get access to free, high-quality photography, and the photographers get their work exposed, so it works for everyone," he added.
