Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 67 reviews
An easy 2.5 mile stroll along the South West Coast Path on the halfway path around Bossington Hill, giving extensive views over the dramatically flat marsh and farmland of Porlock Vale, a landscape of national importance because of the rare flora and fauna which flourish here.

We always drive up and down Porlock Hill to visit Lynmouth, since the 1970s we have been testing our cars and driving skills! This time as we started to climb, an ancient Ford Ka kept stalling in front of us, reversing suddenly, so we kept our distance, to avoid a crash! Thankfully the driver managed at the 5th attempt to give it enough welly to move upwards, to our great relief. Once we were going, the views were as sublime as ever, with fields of sheep and ponies surrounding the narrow road.

We went here wice-one as a result of faulty navigation - and were glad we did. The first was on a right sunny day with 360 degree view over vast distances which really put a spring in your step. The second was on a misty mizzly day with less distant views and a sombre brooding atmosphere. You can get most of the way by car and the final walk to the top is not difficult if you are properly shod.
4. Porlock Scenic Toll Road

Reviewed By 810allanc - Ipswich, United Kingdom
Having done the A39 Porlock ill a couple of times in both directions we took the toll road as a scenic alternative and were glad we did. As easy drive on the whole with one or two tricky points it gave great alternative views of the bay and the countryside and was worth the fee.
5. Porlock Methodist Church
6. Church of St Dubricius
