Luxborough is a peaceful hamlet in the Brendon Hills of Exmoor National
Park, about 6 miles south of Dunster. Three tiny settlements --
Churchtown, Kingsbridge, and Pooltown -- nestle in a wooded valley at
600 feet.
This is a deeply rural corner of Exmoor where farming and forestry have
replaced the iron mining that once sustained the community. The ancient
Church of St Mary in Churchtown dates back to the 13th century, with a
medieval stone cross in its churchyard that is a scheduled ancient
monument. Many of the cottages in the area are thatched, and the pace
of life is wonderfully unhurried.
The Washford River rises near Luxborough and flows through the valley,
giving the hamlet of Pooltown its name from the many pools along its
course. The surrounding woodland is rich with wildlife -- red deer,
buzzards, and woodland birds are regularly spotted.
Luxborough has no shops or general stores. The nearest everyday
amenities are in Dunster (6 miles north), which has a good range of
independent shops, a post office, butcher, and galleries. The market
town of Watchet (7 miles northeast) and Minehead (9 miles north) offer
supermarkets, pharmacies, and a wider range of services.
