Porlock Common

Our verdict

Most people see it through a windscreen. Get out and walk ten minutes and you'll have it entirely to yourself.

High heather moorland above Porlock Vale, where the coast road tops out and the views run from Dunkery to the sea.

Open access land under the Countryside & Rights of Way Act. You're free to roam on foot beyond the paths. Dogs on a short lead 1 March to 31 July and around livestock.
