Map of the UK

The area around Dulverton sits on the western edge of Exmoor in Somerset, where heather-clad moorland gives way to wooded combes and river valleys. The Rivers Barle and Exe thread through limestone and granite country, much of it within Exmoor National Park, so dramatic skylines, wild ponies and good stargazing are characteristic.

The small granite town of Dulverton has a historic market-town feel, with stone buildings reflecting a past tied to wool and agriculture, while today the local economy leans on farming, tourism and outdoor pursuits such as walking, riding and cycling. Community life is lively for a rural area, with local festivals, conservation groups and small businesses catering to visitors and residents alike.
