Porlock is a charming community that is within Exmoor National Park and is close to the picturesque North Somerset coast. The scenic harbour of Porlock Weir, only two miles away, offers great views across the Bristol Channel, and there are many of modest gift stores, pubs, cafes, and restaurants to be found here as well. Out of the hamlet and up a steep, twisting road, visitors can reach the Exmoor Hills, a popular destination for hikers, equestrians, and bikers, and home to wild ponies and red deer. Exmoor was named Europe's first International Dark Skies Reserve in 2011, making it a great starting point for a romantic evening spent stargazing thanks to the plethora of intriguing constellations that can be seen without any special equipment on a dark, moonless night. Fishing opportunities abound in the area surrounding Porlock, including in the nearby reservoirs and rivers of Exmoor. Golfers can stay in Porlock and go the seven miles to the nearest of numerous courses that dot the outskirts of Exmoor. Great day trips can be had by visiting the ancient village of Dunster, whose castle dominates the landscape, or by taking a journey on the West Somerset steam train along the coast to the quaint harbour town of Watchet. It's in a beautiful village with plenty of outdoor activities to keep even the most jaded traveller happy.

Somerset offers 3 Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty - the Quantock, Mendip and Blackdown Hills. Lose yourself in the glory of nature, take a ride on a steam train, visit a traditional farmers’ market or explore your mystical side at Glastonbury.
