Brushford is a small village and civil parish in Somerset, England, sitting on the southern fringe of Exmoor National Park and straddling the valley of the River Exe, a short distance from Dulverton. Its compact centre of traditional stone cottages and narrow lanes gives the settlement a distinctly rural, riverside character.
The local economy is largely agricultural with a seasonal uplift from outdoor tourism - walking, riding and fishing on the Exe - and visitors exploring the moorland nearby. A historic parish church, an old stone bridge and an active village hall reflect a long community life, with regular local events and clubs helping to sustain social ties in a small, close-knit population.
