Dulverton is a compact market town in Somerset, sitting on the north‑western edge of Exmoor National Park beside the River Barle. The town has a cluster of stone buildings, narrow streets and a modest parish church, reflecting its long history as a local trading centre that serviced upland farms and the wool trade.
Today Dulverton depends largely on tourism, walking and angling, with independent shops, tea rooms and galleries catering for visitors to Exmoor. It still feels like a close‑knit community, hosting local markets and events, while the surrounding moorland and river valleys remain the main draw for outdoor lovers and those seeking a quieter rural life.
