Porlock Weir to Culbone Church

Thursday, 30 April 2020 / Published in Places to Walk

Porlock Weir to Culbone Church

This is one of the most magical walks through Exmoor’s wooded coastline. 

The Exmoor coast is famous for having the longest wooded coastline in England and this is the best way to enjoy it.  Start in the quaint harbour village of Porlock Weir and follow the South West Coast Path to Culbone Church.

This particular walk isn’t totally circular, but the walk back is just a beautiful as the walk there.  The church is said to be one of the oldest and smallest in England – it’s beautiful.

Once you’ve explored the church you can head back to Porlock Weir for refreshments.

Alternatively, you can walk all the way back to Highcliffe House – it’s a long and winding path!
