Porlock Bay is surrounded by fine wooded cliff scenery. The pretty
little village of Porlock Weir lies at the western side there is a
small but busy harbour which was once used by coasters carrying timber
to South Wales in exchange for coal. Porlock is enclosed on three
sides by towering hills; on the seaward side it is bounded by the
Marsh, confined by a broad crescent of grey shingle.
Porlock retains its old world charm and character with narrow
winding streets, thatched roofs and tall rounded chimneys on sturdy
square bases. The church of St.Dubricius, is at the centre of the
village, dating from the 13th century.
