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.



Nearby Towns



Minehead (8 miles) -- The main town of West Somerset, with larger supermarkets (Tesco, Morrisons, Lidl), high street banks, a sandy beach, and the terminus of the West Somerset Railway.



Dunster (7 miles) -- One of England's best-preserved medieval villages, dominated by its castle and famous yarn market. Excellent independent shops and places to eat.



Dulverton (10 miles) -- Known as the southern gateway to Exmoor, with a National Park Visitor Centre, independent shops, a butcher, and several pubs and restaurants along the River Barle.

  • This is Dunster Castle, near Minehead in North Somerset.  This is the view you get as you approach, and I just think it's such a beautiful sight, rising up out of the trees.  There's an ancient castle, plus a more modern (as in 17th century modern) Manor House.  The last residents gave it to the National Trust to look after.  Dunster Village is also very pretty and worth a little wander through.
