Porlock Wier is a small, charming, and ancient port within Exmoor National Park. It is very picturesque and surrounded by typical West Somerset coastal hills, which makes it a great place to use as a base for some hiking and biking. As well as activities, it is a thriving little harbour with beautiful scenery, a place to relax and spend some time at.

Mountain biking

rocky beach overlooking the channel. Difficult to swim but there seem to be some good spots for the experienced fisherman. A couple of interesting bunkers on the beach. Lower Porlock is a beautiful town with a nice pub with accommodation options (there's also a hotel there and some little cottages for rent)
