Withypool is a small moorland village in the heart of Exmoor National
Park, set in a beautiful valley where the River Barle flows beneath a
handsome six-arched medieval bridge.
The village has been a popular destination for countryside lovers for
well over a century. The author R.D. Blackmore, who wrote Lorna Doone,
stayed here, as did General Eisenhower, who used the area for D-Day
training in the 1940s. At the centre of village life is The Royal Oak
Inn, a welcoming 18th-century pub serving real ales, local ciders, and
hearty food. The village also has a charming tea room and a small shop
and post office selling everyday essentials, local honey, handmade
soaps, and art.
Withypool sits at a natural crossroads in central Exmoor, making it an
excellent base for exploring the moor in all directions. The River
Barle is one of the finest rivers on Exmoor, and the walks along its
banks -- south to the ancient Tarr Steps or north to the medieval
Landacre Bridge -- are among the most beautiful in the National Park.
The nearest small town is Dulverton (approximately 7 miles), known as
the southern gateway to Exmoor, where you will find a mini-supermarket,
butcher, post office, chemist, cash machine, and a good selection of
independent shops and restaurants. Minehead (approximately 12 miles)
has larger supermarkets, petrol stations, and high street facilities.
