As Porlock is within the Exmoor National Park many people visit again and again.  For the naturalist, motorist or walker it is an ideal area having high moorland and many wooded areas, as well as Porlock Bay, marsh and the harbour at Porlock Weir. 

Here there are many creatures such as the Red Deer and the more elusive Roe Deer.  We have plenty of foxes, badgers and the otters are now returning to the streams.

There are a great variety of birds to be seen: spotted and pied Flycatcher, Buzzard, Raven, Peregrine and the Little Egret, as well as Green, Great Spotted and the rarer Lesser Spotted Woodpecker.  There are too many others to be listed here.

In summer the moors are covered with heather, ling and whortleberry bushes.

We have sites that are nationally important like the ancient woodlands of Hawkcombe and Horner, as well as a Special Site of Scientific Interest on Porlock marsh which attracts many sea birds, waders and rare plants.

The views of the coast and country around us are outstanding.
