Best coffee in Porlock!

Just behind the quay you will find this "face." It is a bunker ruin

Absolutely stunning village, beautiful buildings, a lovely woodland trail to west Porlock & the harbour. Oh, and some awesome (and very old) pubs! I went in October & it was still very busy, so I do imagine that it would be quite overwhelming during the summer, too many people (personally, I tend to avoid doing anything during the summer unless it is at a time / location that won't be busy! 😅)

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.

Porlock’s name derived from its description of a “Locked Port” when the sea receded leaving a strip of rich alluvial land (much of which is now marshland) bordered by a stone ridge beach stretching across the bay. The village is a mile or so from the sea and also lies at the base of Porlock Hill, a winding road famously testing vehicles with a gradient of one in four at its steepest point. Porlock has many attractive old properties with histories of their own. Follow this short trail to appreciate their picturesque qualities, whilst we draw attention to particular features of interest.

The old churches on Exmoor are all beautiful and are usually open to visitors during the day. This one is a tiny, very touching little church

Porlock, with its thatched cottages, rose bushes and small lanes, is a picture-perfect English village. Unfortunately, there is a lot of traffic on the narrow main street. Many places to stop for refreshments and very nice shops invite you to spend some time here.

Porlock is a popular yet authentic Exmoor village. Set in Porlock Vale, between the rolling hills of Exmoor and the sea, the village boasts characterful streets that wind between thatched cottages, shops, galleries, pubs, restaurants, and tea rooms. There is a good choice of accommodation in the village too.
