Clicking cameras belonging to professionals and amateurs alike have long captured the rugged splendour of the Westcountry's two national parks – Exmoor and Dartmoor.

This year's UK National Parks photo competition theme is "National Parks: Actively Yours", with lakes at the two popular visitor attractions set to feature.

South West Lakes Trust, the charity which looks after the lakes, is encouraging people of all ages and abilities to join in the competition using the bodies of water as a backdrop.

Exmoor area manager Alex Forster said: "With an abundance of wildlife, from stoats to great crested grebes, dormice to dragonflies, stunning scenery and poetic human activities from fly-fishing to sailing, Wimbleball Lake is probably one of the best locations within the National Parks"
