Dulverton
Dulverton is known as the Southern gateway
to Exmoor.
There are many places to stay in and around Dulverton, B and Bs, hotels and self catering
holiday cottages.
The town stands between the rivers Barle and Exe which
converge a mile or so down the valley. Standing next to the Barle at the
western
end of Dulverton is Exmoor House, the headquarters of the Exmoor National Park Authority.
The town has several streets of shops including a butcher, NatWest Bank, Post Office, fish & chip shop, greengrocer,
late-opening supermarket, art
gallery, hairdressers, guns and fishing tackle shop. There are a number of
quality boutiques and interesting gift shops. Lewis's Tea shop and
the new Browns restaurant are very popular.
Just along the road is the National Park Information Centre,
which shares premises with the local public library.
The Caravan Club site
behind the National Park HQ is best approached from the South. Visitors with caravans, trailers etc should avoid the centre of Dulverton as the
roads are narrow with sharp bends.
There are a GP doctors practice, a dentist and a veterinary surgery in the village centre.
There are many walks from the town - the riverside walks both ways along the
Barle being very popular.
The wild open moorland of
Winsford Hill on Exmoor is just a few miles North up the Barle valley from
here.
The Bridge Inn is (not surprisingly!) next to the bridge over the River
Barle. The inn dates from 1845 and has great ales and good food.
