The region
A lovely area sandwiched between the beautiful Exmoor National Park (just over the garden fence) and Minehead with the benefits of outdoor and wildlife pursuits yet convenient for all facilities.
Situated mid-way between Porlock and Dunster and the start of the South West Coastal Path.
Minehead is a lovely seaside town that also sits on the edge of Exmoor National Park. If walking is your passion, there is no better place to be. Not only do you have Exmoor stretching out before you with its magnificent views, wildlife and cosy pubs. It's also the terminus for West Somerset Railway, the longest heritage railway in Britain.
