The region
Bossington Green Cottage sits in Porlock Vale, one of Exmoor’s most picturesque spots, on the edge of the pretty hamlet of Bossington, known for its chocolate-box thatched cottages and tranquil lanes, and large shingle beach. The hamlet of Allerford - famous for its 15th-century packhorse bridge - is just up the lane. And Porlock, a mile away, offers pubs, cafés, and shops, while Minehead, ten minutes by car, provides larger stores and amenities. From the cottage, there are wonderful walks in every direction; wander to Bossington Beach and continue along the coast to Porlock Weir, maybe try some Polrock Bay Oysters while you are there? Or explore Selworthy and venture up through the ancient woods to Selworthy Beacon, or on the other side of the vale from Horner up to Dunkery Beacon, for sweeping views across the Bristol Channel to Wales.
