About West Porlock
West Porlock rests in a fold of Exmoor’s dramatic coastline. It lies 9.7 km west of Minehead (from Minehead: bearing 274°T, OS grid SS 871 470), and is situated south-east of Porlock Weir village. The air here, even inland, carries the faint, briny tang of the Bristol Channel, a constant reminder of the wild sea that shapes this landscape. Fields, often divided by ancient hedgerows, roll towards the ancient slopes of the moor, their green hues deepening under the soft, diffused light that often graces this western corner of England. The stone of the few scattered cottages seems to have absorbed the very colour of the earth, a warm, muted ochre against the verdant backdrop. West Porlock, though small, possesses a quiet dignity, a sense of enduring presence as the seasons turn.
