Nearby pub
Having been built in 1290, it is one of the oldest inns in the country and is surrounded by the countryside the area is known for.
Nearby beach
A mixture of pebble and rock, Porlock Beach is backed by marshland rich with wildlife. A popular spot for bathing in summer and surfing in winter, the beach has a year-round appeal and is also often used by anglers. At low tide, the fascinating remains of a submerged forest are revealed offering an intriguing glimpse into the beach's former life many years ago.
Nearby walk
A beautiful four mile moderate stroll around the western side of Porlock Bay taking in woodland, Porlock Beach and marshy pastures.
Nearby town
In a wonderful position on the coast and at the edge of Exmoor, Porlock is a pretty village with cafes, pubs and shops to browse. The highlight of the Porlock calendar is ‘Snowdrop Valley’ time, when the nearby Avill Valley is carpeted with snowdrops.
Also nearby
Drive up onto Exmoor from Wheddon Cross and park at Dunkery Gate just as you get on National Trust land, then choose an open moorland walk to the top of Dunkery Beacon via a long or short route, where you will get a view over Porlock and across the Bristol Channel to Wales.
November 2011
A very enjoyable walk and not to difficult. Well worth the effort, especially on a clear day. Pretty deserted in November but would imagine it gets quite busy in the summer months.
January 2009
Well worth a visit and not too far to walk (you can choose long or short route!). Outstanding views right across to Wales on a clear day.
November 2008
This is a good family friendly walk and due to this the summit can be quite busy on a summers day. Great views all around!
July 2008
Great views
A relatively easy climb for all the family is rewarded with far reaching views on a clear day.
With a history dating back 300 years, the Royal Oak free house can be found in the heart of Exmoor. Recently re-opened under new management, the menu is created using seasonal local produce and guests can enjoy their food in either of the inn’s two bars or restaurant. As well as a range of local beers, the inn also serves an extensive selection of whiskies and wine.

Friendly and great food
Very friendly pub offering a nice menu, including specials, in a traditional Exmoor style.
October 2016
The Royal Oak Inn, Withypool
Very charming inn, good food and selection of local ales, it's larger inside than it looks from the outside. Children and dogs are very welcome and service to a high standard.
Highly recommended
June 2011
The food and service at The Royal Oak were both fantastic. Very welcoming (to children and dogs!) I would highly recommend it. In my daughter's words, the sticky toffee pudding was "the best I've had, ever!"
