It is a short walk from the centre of Porlock which has twice been named best village in Somerset with the judges saying 'the range of facilities for young and old would be impressive in a settlement many times bigger - but in a village with 1,188 people on the electoral role it was "remarkable". There is good range of local shops, restaurants, galleries and a large range of pubs which are patronised year round by locals and visitors alike. The village is a highly attractive and thriving coastal centre set on the edge of Exmoor and adjacent to large areas managed by the National Trust. The area is ideal for walkers and those who enjoy country pursuits with many walks directly accessible from the village. Nearby is the quaint and much photographed Porlock Weir Harbour. The coastal resort of Minehead 6 miles to the East provides a wide range of facilities and the county town of Taunton provides access to the motorway and fast trains to London (from 1 hour 40 minutes).
