region
Simonsbath is a tiny hamlet deep in the heart of Exmoor National Park,
where the River Barle meets Ashcombe Water amid wild, open moorland.
Once the centre of the Royal Forest of Exmoor, Simonsbath retains an
atmosphere of true remoteness and unspoilt beauty. The hamlet was
transformed in the 19th century when the Knight family purchased and
began reclaiming the former royal hunting forest, building farmsteads,
roads, and plantations across the surrounding moorland. Today, a
handful of stone cottages, the renowned Exmoor Forest Inn, and
Simonsbath House are all that make up this peaceful settlement.
A Remote Moorland Setting
This is one of the most secluded corners of Exmoor. The surrounding
landscape is dominated by rolling open moorland, deep river valleys,
and ancient woodland. Red deer roam freely, Exmoor ponies graze the
hilltops, and the night skies are among the darkest in England --
perfect for stargazing in the Exmoor International Dark Sky Reserve.
Local Amenities
Simonsbath itself has no shop, so it is worth stocking up before you
arrive. The nearest village shops and post offices are in Exford,
approximately 5 miles to the south-east, and in Lynton, approximately
10 miles to the north. Dulverton, around 12 miles south, has a wider
range of independent shops, a butcher, a chemist, and the Exmoor
National Park Visitor Centre. For supermarkets and high street
shopping, Minehead is approximately 15 miles away, and South Molton is
around 12 miles to the west.
