The Barn

The barn previously formed the original milking parlour and dairy, plus two attached stables with a long feed store above. It is believed to have been built between 1840 and 1890, with stone walls that are two feet thick, pillars and attractive arch windows.
The popular Coleridge Way runs through the farm and nearby is the West Coastal Path which is ideal for walkers and cyclists. During your stay, we hope you will experience the wonderful night skies of Exmoor and maybe explore the beautiful rugged coastline of Somerset and the surfing beaches of North Devon.
The self-catering barn sleeps up to 10 people in 3 rooms, Coleridge, Dunkery and Snowdrop. There is a well-equipped kitchen/dining area, drying room and two shower rooms with WCs.
In the village of Wheddon Cross, three-quarters of a mile away, there is a petrol station and well-stocked shop with a Post Office. The shop supplies fresh bread, milk, meat, fish, papers and fruit & vegetables. It also serves a selection of alcohol. Open daily. The local pub in the village ‘The Rest & Be Thankful’ is a friendly pub serving good food.
Places to see and things to do in the local area The farm is set in the heart of the Exmoor National Park which covers 265 miles of Somerset & Devon, on a 25-acre farm off a quiet country lane. We are close to open moorland and overlook Snowdrop Valley and the River Avill. Directly from the Coleridge Way on the farm is a network of 600 miles of public footpaths and bridleways. Exmoor has the largest herd of wild red deer in England and the popular native Exmoor Ponies can be seen roaming freely on the moor.
Wildlife is abundant, especially for bird enthusiasts and those who love the night skies. We are a short distance from Dunkery Beacon (standing at 1702ft) which enjoys some of the finest rural views over the Bristol Channel, Wales and up to 86 miles away.
Nearby is the beautiful medieval village of Dunster, with its famous castle and yarn market where there is also a good selection of shops and places to eat. Dunster also provides the nearest beach.
The well-known Victorian town of Minehead is within easy reach and offers a wide range of attractions, beaches, picturesque harbour, public gardens and good shopping. The West Somerset Steam Railway which runs between Minehead and Bishops Lydeard is a great way to spend a few hours travelling through stunning countryside.
Explore the northern edge of Exmoor and the rugged coastline which continues to Lynton & Lynmouth. Enjoy the wild and unspoilt landscapes, cliffs, hidden river valleys and the open moorland.
Tarr Steps, a clapper bridge that crosses over the river Barle, and the Grade II* listed Landacre Bridge which carries traffic over the river are near Withypool, a quiet and unspoilt village surrounded by open moorland.
Also nearby is the village of Dulverton with great places to eat and shop and the Dulverton Heritage Centre offering a wealth of information and the popular Exmoor Pony Centre. Also, Porlock and Porlock Weir offer great places to eat, beautiful scenic walks, outdoor activities and the delicacy of local Porlock Oysters.
Though the neighbouring county of Dorset is better known for its fossils, Somerset also has some fantastic locations. The coastline of Watchet, Blue Anchor and Kilve is within a 40-minute drive and hold particular geological interest, with a variety of fossils being found along the coastline.
Snowdrop Valley: This event is officially open every year at the end of January/beginning of February, and requires only a walk down the lane. See the beautiful snowdrops and walk through the wonderful woodland alongside the River Avill. Enjoy the tea, cakes and more made available in the village after your walk.
Dark Skies: Ideal for stargazers, weather permitting, look to the night skies above Dunkery Beacon as Exmoor offers Europe’s first international dark sky reserve. Recognised in 2011 by the International Dark Skies Association for its low levels of light pollution, we have a festival of activities for two weeks during October/November every year.
On Exmoor, you will find rolling farmland, ancient woodlands, moors, hills and secluded river valleys. From Dunkery Beacon, the highest point in Exmoor National park, on a clear night you can see up to 3000 stars with the naked eye. Star-gazing here is an all year round activity, but the winter months provide greater darkness, giving you the best chance to see the Orion constellation which is visible in the Northern Hemisphere night sky between November and February.
This is a lovely place to find peace and tranquillity, and a wonderful place to explore!

Directions - Unless you are walking or cycling, please don't attempt to access the site via Combe Lane, which is a no-through road from the village of Exford.

Instead, from Exford, turn off the B3224 onto Park St heading towards Porlock. Follow this road out of the village and near the top of the hill you will drive over a cattle grid (Hillhead Cross). Take the immediate right, signposted Luccombe. The campsite is the next right turning (if you get to Porlock Post you have gone too far).
