Spend your evenings alfresco, watching the sun set in the distance and then admiring the stars until you’re ready to retreat back inside for a warm shower and some well-earned rest. When you want to explore, visit Tarr Steps, an ancient clapper bridge spanning the River Barle where you can delight in a relaxing stroll along the river, explore surrounding woodlands and enjoy a picnic with the one you love. Explore the Exmoor National Park, perfect for sampling a range of hiking and cycling opportunities, in addition to admiring wildlife such as wild ponies and red deer. Try your hand at fishing, sailing or canoeing at Wimbleball Lake, ride the West Somerset Railway or uncover the medieval structure of Dunster Castle, whilst taking in panoramic vistas of Exmoor and the Bristol Channel. With the charming town of Tiverton also within accessible reach, home to Tiverton Castle, you’ll have plenty to see and do. Whisk your other half away on an exciting retreat to Somerset, with a stay at The Snug.
Dulverton is the southern gateway to the Exmoor National Park, a small town standing between the rivers Barle and Exe, which meet further down the valley. Dulverton has some quaint narrow streets weaving between fine Victorian buildings and a three arched bridge crossing the river leading to riverside walks. There are plenty of shops, restaurants and pubs in Dulverton and in the square is the Exmoor National Park visitor centre and art gallery, offering plenty of inspiration for exploring the vast expanse of the moor on foot, on horseback or from behind the wheel. Why not try an off road safari around Exmoor to see red deer, wild ponies and rare birds? Exmoor has been designated as a Dark Sky Reserve, where the light pollution is low and plenty of stargazing can be done. Near to Dulverton is the majestic lake at Wimblewall Country Park, the first Dark Skies Discovery Centre on Exmoor. Wimblewall is also a premier trout fishing location, and provides tuition in numerous water sports, including sailing, windsurfing and canoeing. Further afield the North Somerset coastline has sandy beaches at Minehead, picturesque harbours and plenty of wild walking around Porlock Weir. A fabulous holiday destination for all those enjoying outdoor activities, dramatic landscapes and wildlife.
