Local area
The village is neatly perched in a sheltered position at the foot of Dunkery Hill, the beacon on the top is the highest point on Exmoor at 519 metres above sea level. From the beacon you will have a 360 degree view, both along the coastline and of the surrounding countryside. Nearby Grabbist also has spectacular views from the top and it is said to have provided the inspiration for the hymn 'All Things Bright and Beautiful'.

Exmoor National Park is 267 square miles of rural idyll; rolling hills with open heather moorland and sweeping valleys covered in ancient oak forests. Whether you just want a relaxing holiday exploring the picturesque villages or an energetic Exmoor holiday with mountain biking, riding and walking you will find plenty to keep you busy.
Exmoor has an abundance of wildlife; herds of wild red deer and Exmoor ponies roam our landscape, and buzzards soar majestically overhead.
