Dulverton is a compact market town and civil parish in Somerset, sitting in the wooded valley of the River Barle on the southern edge of Exmoor near the border with Devon. Its stone-built streets, historic bridges and river-side walks make it a popular gateway for walking, fishing and other outdoor pursuits in the national park.

Historically it grew as a market and packhorse centre serving the surrounding uplands, and today the local economy blends agriculture, tourism, independent shops, galleries and small-scale crafts; a close-knit community supports regular markets, conservation groups and local events that celebrate the area's heritage and landscape.
