Dulverton is often described as the southern gateway to Exmoor National Park. Straddling the Somerset and Devon border in a wooded valley where the River Barle meets the Exe. It's a thoroughly interesting small town. The surrounding landscape is extraordinary: open moorland, ancient woodland, deep river valleys and a dramatic coastline all within easy reach. Walking, cycling, wild swimming and riding are on the doorstep, along with the famous Tarr Steps clapper bridge and the deer-rich expanses of the high moor. Exmoor is one of the darkest sky reserves in England, and on a clear night the stargazing from this corner of Somerset is hard to beat.
