Dulverton is often described as the southern gateway to Exmoor National Park. Straddling the Somerset and Devon border in a wooded valley where the River Barle meets the Exe. It's a thoroughly interesting small town. The surrounding landscape is extraordinary: open moorland, ancient woodland, deep river valleys and a dramatic coastline all within easy reach. Walking, cycling, wild swimming and riding are on the doorstep, along with the famous Tarr Steps clapper bridge and the deer-rich expanses of the high moor. Exmoor is one of the darkest sky reserves in England, and on a clear night the stargazing from this corner of Somerset is hard to beat.

Walking, cycling, wild swimming and riding are on the doorstep, along with the famous Tarr Steps clapper bridge and the deer-rich expanses of the high moor. Exmoor is one of the darkest sky reserves in England, and on a clear night the stargazing from this corner of Somerset is hard to beat.
