About Oareford

Oareford breathes the quietude of Exmoor's western edge, a place where the land softens before the dramatic rise of the moors. It lies 9.8 km east-south-east of Lynton (from Lynton: bearing 106°T, OS grid SS 813 463), and is situated west-south-west of Porlock Weir village. Here, the Oare Water, a lively stream, carves its path through the landscape, its murmur a constant companion to the surrounding hillsides. The air carries the scent of damp earth and bracken, particularly potent after a soft Exmoor rain. Within Oareford, a scattering of stone cottages huddles together, their slate roofs gleaming under the often-misted skies, a testament to the enduring spirit of those who have made their homes here for generations. The gentle slope of the land towards the coast hints at the proximity of the Bristol Channel, a presence felt even miles inland.
