Woodland Trail Towards West Porlock

Highlight • Forest

4.98 km

Porlock Village Centre

Highlight • Historical Site

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! 😅)

The Big Cheese Café & Delicatessen

Highlight • Restaurant

The cheese selection is great and huge! But there are also all sorts of other delicacies here, including a large selection of gin. We spent a very pleasant break here in the small café with tea and pastries.

Porlock Village Centre

Highlight • Historical Site

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.

Hawkcombe Head Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Rocky, twisting single track at the top gives way to fast grassy track that leads into the woods. Great views on the descent and lots of fun through the woods.
