General
- Peaceful site in Exmoor's Porlock Vale, for guests aged 16 and over
- A 10-minute drive from Minehead or the village of Porlock
- In a farmed meadow on the National Trust's Holnicote Estate
Porlock Vale Campsite is a peaceful and secluded spot for guests over the age of 16 where you can surround yourself with nature on a gorgeous farmland meadow.
Sitting among the scenic landscapes of the National Trust's Holnicote Estate, this Exmoor location is close to the spectacular panoramas of Dunkery Commons, Webber's Post, Ley Hill, Horner Woods and lots of other surrounding spots that are ripe for exploration.
Moorland, woodland and coast can all be easily reached from Porlock Vale Campsite, as the site is under half a mile from the A39. Sticking locally, you're a 10-minute drive from the family-friendly seaside resort of Minehead or the village of Porlock, a pretty place close to the coast where you can stop off at pubs, cafés and shops.
The views on site take in oak trees, woodland, hedges and undulating pasture and nearby hills that include Dunkery Beacon, the highest point in all of Exmoor. The river Aller also meanders through the site, creating a relaxed atmosphere. Frequent wildlife spots have included buzzards, foxes, hares, rabbits, and water voles, and with a little luck you could see red deer or the famed Holnicote Estate beavers passing through as well.
Facilities at this 17-acre site near Luccombe include access to good-quality treated drinking water, washing-up facilities, a toilet block (with male and female sections) and showers.
