A small and pretty Exmoor village in Somerset, near the River Barle, very close to the source of the River Exe. It's on both the Two Moors Way and the MacMillan Way West. Find a few places here to relax inside; the Exmoor Forest Inn and the Simonsbath House Hotel, as well as some beautiful picnic spots alongside the river in better weather.

Cute little Exmoor village. The pub (The Exmoor Inn) is very nice and serves excellent food although be warned that lunch is only served until 3pm if you're running as late as we were. The river running through Simonsbath has many spots suitable for a wild dip and many are mentioned on wildswimming.co.uk.
