The small rural community of Withypool and Hawkridge sits on the western edge of Exmoor National Park in Somerset, England, occupying a wooded valley where the River Barle threads through moorland and coppice. The landscape of stone cottages, narrow lanes and old stone bridges gives it a very traditional, scenic feel and makes it popular with walkers and wildlife watchers.
Locally the economy is rooted in hill farming and tourism, with shepherded flocks, smallholdings, holiday lets and a village pub supporting a close-knit community that keeps a church, a hall and occasional local events alive. Its long rural history is visible in listed buildings and ancient lanes, and conservation-minded residents and visitors prize the quiet, historic character of the place.
