The region

The Brendon Hills are a beautiful, unspoilt ridge of high farmland on the eastern fringe of Exmoor National Park, offering far-reaching views and deep rural tranquillity.

This is a landscape of scattered farms, ancient hedgerows, and quiet lanes, stretching between the open moor of Exmoor to the west and the gentler Quantock Hills to the east. The area has a rich industrial heritage -- iron ore was mined here from the 1850s to the 1880s, and the remains of the West Somerset Mineral Railway can still be traced across the hillside. Today, the Brendon Hills are a haven for walkers, cyclists, and anyone seeking genuine peace and seclusion in the heart of the West Somerset countryside.

Local Amenities

The Brendon Hills are deeply rural, so it is worth stocking up before you arrive. The nearest village with everyday facilities is Wheddon Cross, approximately 3 to 5 miles from most properties. Wheddon Cross has a well-stocked village shop and post office, a pub serving food, and a petrol station. The village of Brompton Regis, tucked into the valley below Wimbleball Lake, has a small community shop and a charming village pub.

Nearby Shopping

Dulverton, approximately 8 miles south, is a handsome small town on the southern edge of the National Park with a good range of independent shops, a butcher, a chemist, and the Exmoor National Park Visitor Centre. Watchet, approximately 8 miles to the north-east, is a historic harbour town with a small supermarket, independent shops, and a marina.

For larger supermarkets, Minehead is approximately 10 miles away and has Tesco, Morrisons, and Lidl, as well as most high street banks. Taunton is approximately 22 miles and offers full town-centre shopping including John Lewis and Debenhams.
