Wheddon Cross is the highest village in Exmoor National Park and affords breathtaking views of Dunkery Beacon, Exmoor’s highest point, and over the stunning Somerset countryside. There is a lively local pub and two shops (a post office and petrol station) here, making it a good place for a pit-stop. You find accommodation in the village too.

Not the prettiest Exmoor village, but probably the one with the greatest view.
