  1. We visited #Minehead yesterday, which is a town on the #NorthSomerset #Coast. Although it’s not that far from where we live, it’s still takes a while to get there as a north-south link is across #Exmoor #hills and there are some pretty narrow roads to traverse. It was a pleasant enough journey and we parked by the railway station.

  2. Camping season is back at long last ! I'm camping in Exmoor National Park (UK) this week in my tiny tiny campervan. Today I walked around Wimbleball lake (and went to the dam) and went to the clapper bridge at Tarr Steps. About 12km walking today. #exmoor #camping #clapperbridge #lake

  6. Welcome to the Royal Oak in Porlock

    In the centre of Porlock, surrounded by moor, woodland and sea air, The Royal Oak has been part of village life for generations. Fires lit in winter, doors open in summer, and tables shared in every season.

    It’s the kind of inn where conversation lingers, dogs doze beneath chairs, and walkers drift in from the hills in search of something warm and good. Locals, travellers, neighbours and newcomers — all are welcomed, and all are part of the story here.

    The food at The Royal Oak reflects the landscape around us. Our menu changes with the weather, the tides, and the work of local farmers, growers, and fishermen.

    Expect hearty dishes in winter, lighter plates in summer, and a steady respect for the ingredients that come from Exmoor’s fields, farms, and waters. We cook simply, so the flavours can speak for themselves, and we prepare everything with care — the kind of food that feels both familiar and quietly special.

    Vegetarian friendly. Vegan options. Gluten free available.

    Local ales from the moor, orchard ciders from the valley, and a thoughtful wine list — best enjoyed slowly, in good company.

    Our wine selection traces the great wine regions of the world, with bottles sourced directly from small, family-run vineyards and independent producers. Each wine is bottled at the estate, preserving the character and craft of the maker — no mass bottling, no shortcuts — just honest winemaking, poured with care.

    We’re proud to serve local craft beer from On The Level Brew Co., a small father-and-son brewery based here on Exmoor. Every batch is brewed by hand, with care, character, and a genuine love for good beer — the kind that brings people together. It’s local, independent, and exactly what a village pub should pour.

  17. The land is extensively used for agriculture and in this part of #Exmoor, #SheepFarming seem to be the main #industry and so large #fields and #meadows of #pasture are needed to feed them. In #Spring, the grass is a beautiful shade of #green.

  18. The Valley of Rocks, a dramatic ‘U’ shaped valley on the northern fringe of #Exmoor is popular for a quick car visit to the rocks but this circular walk adds a ridge, a spectacular gorge and the pretty town of Lynton. Details at tinyurl.com/2ft6savh

    New Coast Kitchen is based in the heart of Croyde Bay in North Devon. We work very hard to offer our customers fresh, high quality dishes served in a precise modern style. 

    Croyde is very much a seaside holiday destination and has an array of great family friendly pubs and eateries which has allowed us to really commit to offering holiday makers and locals a very different dining experience for the area. We constantly challenge ourselves to improve and push standards across the business every day with the goal always being to offer our customers the best of everything. 

    Our kitchen is run by our Executive Chef Martin Baylis who is a young, talented, and exciting chef.

  22. #SouthWest walking people. Tomorrow I've got a whole day to go for a mooch. Where is your fav spot? I can get out to #Dartmoor, #Exmoor, #Quantocks etc. Cornwall is a bit too far, and I find the mendips a bit dull. Blackdowns are my doorstep so know pretty much every inch.

    Where should I explore!
