PORLOCK | Exploring the medieval village of Porlock Somerset

PORLOCK | Exploring the medieval village of Porlock Somerset. The beautiful english village of Porlock is situated between Minehead and Lynton and Lynmouth in Exmoor.

Porlock, a hidden gem nestled amidst the rolling hills of Exmoor National Park in Somerset, offers a quintessential English village experience. This charming escape boasts a rich history, breathtaking scenery, and a pace of life that allows you to truly unwind.

Step back in time as you explore Porlock's medieval heart. The 13th-century Church of St Dubricius, with its famous truncated spire, stands as a testament to the village's long history. Wander along the narrow lanes lined with attractive and historic buildings, many showcasing the character of the past centuries.

Beyond the village itself, dramatic landscapes beckon. Hike or bike along scenic trails that weave through the heather-clad hills of Exmoor. Explore hidden valleys and cascading waterfalls, and keep an eye out for the iconic Exmoor ponies grazing freely in the meadows. For a truly unique experience, embark on a horseback riding adventure across the open moorland, a perfect way to connect with nature.

Despite its tranquil atmosphere, Porlock isn't short on charm. Browse the delightful independent shops showcasing local crafts and artisan products. Find the perfect souvenir or simply treat yourself to something special. Stop by a cozy tea room for a quintessential cream tea, a delightful way to savor the local flavors.

If you're looking for a touch of exhilaration, Porlock Weir, a picturesque harbor nestled below the village, beckons. Watch colorful fishing boats bobbing in the water, or try your hand at crabbing or sea fishing. Explore the pebble beach, a haven for relaxation or a base for building sandcastles with the family.

Porlock is a haven for stargazers. As part of Europe's first designated Dark Sky Reserve, the night skies here are truly spectacular. With minimal light pollution, you can witness a breathtaking tapestry of stars, planets, and even the Milky Way on a clear night.

Whether you seek a historical adventure, a chance to reconnect with nature, or simply a peaceful escape, Porlock offers a captivating English village experience. Immerse yourself in the charm, explore the surrounding beauty, and create lasting memories in this idyllic corner of Somerset.
