Community
Porlock Vale is home to more than 2,000 residents and is a thriving village with a wealth of clubs, groups and organisations always looking for members or volunteers.
The Vale has its own health centre, a number of churches and all the amenities you could need including two mini supermarkets, a post office, garage and village halls.
Far from being a summer only destination, the villages of Porlock Vale offer events and community activities throughout the year.
