About Porlock and Exmoor

Porlock is a living village 12 months of the year. There are two churches, C of E and Methodist, a medical practice, library and visitor centre. As for shops, we boast two small supermarkets, a butcher, baker, rare bookshop, newsagents, pharmacy, hardware store, Post Office, two art galleries, haberdashery, two garages, printers, four antiques shops, two estate agents and numerous gift and sweet shops.

For those who do not wish to cook, there are at least a dozen places to eat from breakfast to dinner in three pubs, various restaurants, tea rooms and hotels - at prices to suit all pockets.

Porlock, situated "twixt moor and sea" is the ideal base for exploring the beautiful Exmoor National Park, whether by foot, bike or car. Exmoor has something to offer everyone, from wild animals and birds, spectacular views, archaeology and vernacular architecture to steam trains, walks, rural museums and National Trust properties. All are within easy reach of Porlock.

There are many pretty villages to explore. Close by are the National Trust owned chocolate box villages of Selworthy and Bossington with lime washed thatch cottages, village greens and a lovely church at Selworthy. Further afield is the village of Dunster with its medieval Yarn Market, working water mill, tea rooms and castle that dominates the village.

Taunton and Barnstable are only 45 minutes away whilst Exeter can be reached in about an hour and a quarter. Taunton is our nearest mainline train station and motorway access (M5). Local transport is quite good with regular buses from Porlock to Minehead, Lynton, Lynmouth, Taunton and Barnstable. Minehead is the nearest town with services and is only a 10 minute drive away.
