Best coffee in Porlock!

Much better under the new owners.

Shut 3 years ago. Amenable pub nearby.

Unfortunately the tearoom is now closed.

Countisbury Hill from Lynmouth is a long, steady Exmoor climb with an average gradient of 10% and ramps reaching 18%. The wide, smooth A-road climbs sharply from the coast, offering dramatic sea views. The gradient is relentless from the start, so drop into an easy gear early and pace yourself for the full 2 km grind. Reach the top, and you’re rewarded with sweeping views over the Bristol Channel and open moorland ahead.

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.

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.
