This site is dedicated to all things in Porlock Weir
A great site showing the beauty of Exmoor with lots of things to do.
Linking our coastal Exmoor village with visionary mathematician and pioneer of computer software, Ada Lovelace
Dovery Manor Museum is a not-for-profit charitable organisation whose aim
is to provide an insight into the delightful Exmoor village of Porlock
and nearby communities.
Dotted across the landscape of Exmoor are villages and hamlets and, in them, small churches and tiny chapels. The Porlock Pilgrim's Trail takes you to nine of Exmoor's churches and chapels. The paths you travel have been walked and ridden by clergy and parishioners for hundreds of years – indeed the path from Stoke Pero to Luccombe is called Priest's Way.
We believe every visit to Porlock should start and end at the Information Centre. At the start we can help with your holiday plans by offering information about places to visit, where to eat, what’s on, the best walks, views and trips. At the end of your holiday we have a wonderful range of locally-sourced gifts to buy as a reminder of your visit and to take home for those not lucky enough to come with you. And should your visit to Porlock Vale be of a more permanent nature we’re here for you too with a Welcome to Porlock pack for new residents with details of forthcoming events, local groups and activities. Call in and find out what we can do for you – and if we don’t know the answer to your question, we’ll probably know someone who does!
