Winstitchen is located in the centre of Exmoor National Park and occupies an outstanding position on the moor, completely secluded yet easily accessible. Simonsbath a well known Exmoor landmark is barely a mile with pub and Hotel, and Exford with Post Office, Store, Newsagent, Pub and Hotel, a five minute drive away.

Exmoor national park is one of England's great treasures and there is a trust who are responsible for the conservation of this natural beauty's wild life and heritage. Exmoor national park expands two hundred and seven square miles of countryside and has a population of over ten thousand five hundred. Our population take great pride in the national park and the community along with the authority work together to maintain this unspoiled land.

We need to keep Exmoor national park pure as over a quarter of England and Wales has been built on, destroying eco-systems. In the south people from the city need somewhere to educate their children about wild life and the environment apart from books and pictures, it would be a shame if future generations couldn't go to visit the countryside because of neglect on our part. And there would be no tress and we'd all die too.

Tens of thousands of people come to the Exmoor National Park every year to enjoy peaceful surroundings and fresh air many come to paint or ramble or break dance, you can visit the tarr steps which is an ancient clapper bridge. We have visitor centre at Exmoor National Park which can tell you everything you would want to know about the place through displays and maps, we have specialists on hand to answer all your interesting questions.

Bed and Breakfast Porlock

Wilsham Farm is situated near to Porlock in Exmoor. Porlock is a quiet coastal village 5 miles from Minehead. The village is adjacent to a nature reserve and Hawkcombe leads for three miles towards high and open moorland. Our B and B allows you to remain close to the region around Porlock and gives you access day by day to stunning scenery for horse riding and hiking.

Porlock isn't short of historic monuments. The Church of St Dubricius dates all the way back from the 13th century. Although the spire was damaged in a storm it is still beautiful to view and is a grade I listed building as accorded by English Heritage.

It is often said that the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who lived nearby at Nether Stowey (between Bridgwater and Minehead), and William Wordsworth (who lived nearby at Alfoxden) would often roam the hills and coast on late night strolls. This led to local rumours that they were spying for the French. The Government sent an agent to investigate, but found they were, "mere poets". Their walks are celebrated by the Coleridge Way which ends in Porlock.
