Much better under the new owners.

Can’t swim here, but the wide open, deserted space is beautiful

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.

Because it is so readily made by heating limestone, lime must have been known from the earliest times, and all the early civilizations used it in building mortars and as a stabilizer in mud renders and floors. According to finds at 'Ain Ghazal in Jordan, Palestine, and Abu Hureyra in Syria dating to 7500–6000 BCE, the earliest use of lime was mostly as a binder on floors and in plaster for coating walls. This use of plaster may, in turn, have led to the development of proto-pottery, made from lime and ash. In mortar, the oldest binder was mud. According to finds at Catal Hüyük in Turkey, mud was soon followed by clay, and then by lime in the 6th millennium BCE

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.

Super well maintained and planted. Nice to be remembered! The information board describes well what happened

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.
