Dulverton

Dulverton can be considered to be the Southern gateway to Exmoor. 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.

There are a number of quality boutiques and interesting gift shops. Lewis's Tea Rooms, the Courtyard Tea Room and Woods Restaurant are very popular, serving quality local produce. Just along the road is the National Park Centre, which shares premises with the local public library.

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.

Road Directions

From the M5 exit at jnct 27 and join the A361 to Tiverton. Turn onto the A396 in a northerly direction, and then take the B3222 to Dulverton.

Visitors with caravans, trailers etc should avoid the centre of Dulverton as the road North into the Park is very narrow and bendy.
