cottages are tastefully decorated for the festive period. The region
Wheddon Cross is often called the ’crossroads of Exmoor’ -- a friendly
village at the junction of the B3224 and B3358, right in the heart of
the National Park.
Standing at around 300 metres above sea level, Wheddon Cross is the
highest village on Exmoor. It sits in the parish of Cutcombe, with the
ancient parish church of St Andrew just a short walk away in the
neighbouring hamlet. The village grew up around its important
crossroads, where travellers on the old coaching routes between
Dulverton, Minehead and Simonsbath would stop to rest.
Village Amenities
The Rest and Be Thankful Inn stands at the centre of the village -- a
19th-century coaching inn serving food, local ales and accommodation.
Wheddon Cross also has a well-stocked village shop with post office
services, a petrol station with ATM, free public toilets, a children’s
play park, and an active village hall hosting regular community events.
