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.

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’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.
