About the host

Hosted by Chris

Set within Exmoor Nationa lPark in the foothills of the Brendon Hills on the southern slope of Croydon Hill, Luxborough enjoys a peaceful and beautiful setting. Exmoor's highest point, Dunkery Beacon, is a short drive or a long walk away and the views from the top on a clear day are spectacular.

Luxborough is a small village that is divided into the hamlets of Churchtown, Kingsbridge and Pooltown, which all lie within a mile of each other. In years gone by people came to the Luxborough area to mine iron ore and it was sent via the West Somerset Mineral Railway to Watchet on the coastline. In the 19th century the school was reported to have 200 pupils from the village and the iron mines in the Brendon Hills.

The ancient Church of St Mary in Churchtown is believed to date from Norman times, or some believe it may be Saxon times due to a Cross in the Churchyard. Today, St Mary's is a Grade II listed building.

Bridleways and footpaths crisscross near and through Luxborough, including the famous Coleridge Way which passes through the village.

The Royal Oak Inn serves drinks and good food, approx 1 mile away from the cottage in Luxborough.

Roadwater is situated 4 miles to the east and the popular village of Dunster is 4.5 miles to the north.

Wheddon Cross (approx 5 miles) has a newly refurbished mini-supermarket with Post Office facilities and a petrol station with good opening times. Roadwater also has a local shop and pub which serves food.

Dunster is also approx 4 miles, but in the other direction. This wonderful medieval village is really worth a visit, it has lots of shops, restaurants, tea rooms and a village shop all overlooked by a spectacular castle.

Minehead is the nearest town, approximately 7 miles away. Here you will find the larger supermarkets plus a range of other shops throughout the town.

The glorious North Devon beaches of Woolacombe, Putsborough and Croyde are just a scenic hour's drive away across Exmoor.

Tesco, Sainsbury's, Waitrose as well as Cook from Taunton will deliver to Luxborough.
