Tackling Porlock Hill westwards from the village on the A39, prepare for an immediate, brutal ascent. The climb bites hard almost instantly, throwing its infamous 25% ramps at you very early, particularly around the tight hairpins. Experience the intense effort required in your lowest gears, feeling the steepness challenge every pedal stroke. As you winch yourself upwards through the woods, glance back (when safe!) at the rapidly unfolding, stunning views over Porlock Bay. Be aware you'll be sharing this famously steep A-road with other vehicles. After battling the steepest sections, the gradient lessens slightly, but the climb persists relentlessly until you emerge onto the exposed Exmoor moorland at the summit and breathtaking views over the Bristol Channel.

In the middle of the village there is a beautiful, old stone bridge with a ford across the stream next to it. Great photo opportunity!

It’s up in any direction from here.

Dunster is a village and civil parish in Somerset, England, within the northeastern boundary of Exmoor National Park. It lies on the Bristol Channel 2.5 miles southeast of Minehead and 20 miles northwest of Taunton. At the 2011 Census, it had a population of 817. There are Iron Age hillforts in the area.

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