LocationBrushford is a peaceful village on the southern edge of Exmoor National Park in Somerset, just two miles from the market town of Dulverton.
The village sits where the rivers Barle and Exe converge in a beautiful wooded valley. The parish church of St Nicholas dates from the 15th century and includes the Herbert memorial chapel designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens. Brushford has a village hall, playground, and a friendly community of families and retirees -- a tranquil base from which to explore all that Exmoor has to offer.
Dulverton, a short stroll or two-minute drive away, is known as the 'southern gateway to Exmoor' and provides an excellent range of amenities. You will find independent shops, a late-opening supermarket, butcher, greengrocer, post office, chemist, and a cash machine. There are award-winning restaurants, traditional pubs, tea rooms, and a fish and chip shop. Exmoor House -- the headquarters of the Exmoor National Park Authority -- is in Dulverton and features exhibitions and a gallery.
The Guildhall Heritage and Arts Centre in Dulverton is well worth a visit, with free admission and fascinating exhibitions on local history including a working model of the original Dulverton railway station. The town sits between the rivers Barle and Exe, and the stunning Tarr Steps ancient clapper bridge is just five miles to the northwest -- one of the most popular and iconic landmarks in the whole of Exmoor.
