The region
Porlock is a historic village on the edge of Exmoor National Park in Somerset, in a sheltered vale between the moor and the Bristol Channel coast. Its heritage stretches back to Saxon times. It's a fabulous location for exploring the coast, the moors and the wooded valleys of Exmoor.

The meandering High Street is lined with independent shops, including a traditional butcher, chemist, hardware shop, post office, two convenience stores, art galleries, and a cash machine, plus a selection of cafes, tea rooms, pubs and restaurants.

The harbour hamlet of Porlock Weir is approximately one mile to the west and makes a lovely walk or a short drive. There you will find a 15th-century tidal harbour, a pub, restaurants, cafes, and independent shops and galleries.

Minehead is the nearest town, approximately 6 miles away. Here you will find larger supermarkets and petrol stations (Tesco and Morrisons on the outskirts with longer opening hours), high street banks, cash machines, and a range of independent and national-chain shops, plus a good selection of cafes, pubs, restaurants and take-aways.
