Stogumber Railway Station

Highlight • Rest Area

Originally linking Watchet on the coast to Taunton, the West Somerset Railway opened in 1862. Surviving a hundred years of use, the line closed in the 1970s but reopened less than a decade later, this time as a heritage railway.

Today, you can catch a ride on the steam train that runs on this line and stop off at the pretty heritage stations along the way. At Stogumber station, sample the fantastic cream teas served in the old station house and buy your tickets for the train.

Hall Farm Bed & Breakfast

Highlight • Settlement

With my phone low on juice and no caffeine in the tank, I stopped by to make hopeful enquiries.

Judi (and her dog Jessie!) were very hospitable, and couldn’t do enough to be friendly and accommodating.

It’s a lovely location and property, and although I’ve not stayed overnight, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hall Farm B&B.

Stogumber Village

Highlight • Settlement

This sweet little village sits with the Quantock Hills AONB to the east and the Brendon Hills and Exmoor National Park to the west. Stogumber is small and historic with thatched cottages, a 13th-century church and a tranquil cemetery.

The White Horse Inn is a popular pub in the village and a great place to pause for a hot lunch if you're hiking in the area. The Samaritans Way South West long-distance footpath travels through the village.

It seems that every English village is hiding some extraordinary history and Stogumber is no different: Sir Francis Drake was married here, to Elizabeth Sydenham.

St. Mary's Church, Brompton Ralph

Highlight • Historical Site

Brompton Ralph's church was likely built in the early 15th century although much of what you see today originates in the 18th. The church bell and the south tower arch both date back to the 1400s while the south aisle window is 16th century. Like many rural village churches, exploring St. Mary's in Brompton Ralph is a little like walking back in time.
