Discovered this campsite this year. Love it!! Well run and friendly family run campsite. Really welcoming. We liked it so much we stayed twice in August. Great location. Welcomes dogs. Good walks through surrounding woodland to Porlock, Porlock Weir and the beach. We were in the second field which has a slope so if you're in a van (we were) you'll need blocks to level the van. This will definitely become a favourite place to visit.

We visited this gallery as we were in Porlock and liked one of the pictures in the window. Very friendly, welcoming and knowledgable staff. Lots of fantastic pieces and books to browse. Love that the gallery is also dog friendly. Can't wait for another visit!

An easy 2.5 mile stroll along the South West Coast Path on the halfway path around Bossington Hill, giving extensive views over the dramatically flat marsh and farmland of Porlock Vale, a landscape of national importance because of the rare flora and fauna which flourish here.

We always drive up and down Porlock Hill to visit Lynmouth, since the 1970s we have been testing our cars and driving skills! This time as we started to climb, an ancient Ford Ka kept stalling in front of us, reversing suddenly, so we kept our distance, to avoid a crash! Thankfully the driver managed at the 5th attempt to give it enough welly to move upwards, to our great relief. Once we were going, the views were as sublime as ever, with fields of sheep and ponies surrounding the narrow road.

Booked for myself and my partner and was a little apprehensive it might just be for kids...was I wrong! We did the first landing on the moon, and an interactive space station VR...both were superb. Cant recommend highly enough, i was so immersed in it
9. Greencombe Gardens
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 24 reviews
A woodland garden and organic showpiece of international renown, Greencombe stretches along a sheltered hillside below the tree-covered slopes of Exmoor and offers visitors an outstanding view over ancient fields onto Porlock Bay. The moss covered paths of Greencombe meander through an exceptional collection of ornamental plants that flourish beneath a magnificent canopy of oaks, hollies, conifers and sweet chestnuts. Camellias, rhododendrons, azaleas, maples, lilies, roses, clematis, and hydrangeas all flower in turn among ferns and the garden's four National Collections: Erythronium, small mountain-lilies; Vaccinium, 'whortleberries worldwide'; Gaultheria, 'whortleberries for bears'; and Polystichum, the 'thumbs-up' fern. For 50 years, Greencombe has thrived using organic gardening methods, with a riot of birds and butterflies all around. Also of interest, the garden is home to a champion English Holly tree (ilex aquifolium), the largest and oldest in the British Isles. Like all good plantsmen's gardens, Greencombe is full of rare and wonderful plants and has much to interest and delight every visitor.

We went here wice-one as a result of faulty navigation - and were glad we did. The first was on a right sunny day with 360 degree view over vast distances which really put a spring in your step. The second was on a misty mizzly day with less distant views and a sombre brooding atmosphere. You can get most of the way by car and the final walk to the top is not difficult if you are properly shod.
