LocationTimberscombe is a quiet, attractive village set in a wooded valley on the eastern edge of Exmoor National Park, between Dunster and Wheddon Cross.
The village is centred around pretty stone cottages, a 13th-century church, and a community village hall, all surrounded by rolling farmland and ancient woodland. Timberscombe is ideally placed for exploring both the wild open moorland of Exmoor and the dramatic Somerset coastline, with the medieval village of Dunster just two miles away and the coast at Minehead only four miles to the north.
Village Amenities
Timberscombe is a small and peaceful village. There is a village hall hosting occasional community events, and the beautiful Church of St Petrock dates back to the 13th century. The village has no shop -- the nearest convenience stores are in Dunster (2 miles) or Wheddon Cross (3 miles), both a short drive away.
Nearby Shopping
Dunster, just 2 miles away, has a handful of independent shops, galleries, and cafes in its picturesque main street. Wheddon Cross (3 miles) has a small general stores and petrol station. For larger supermarkets and high street shops, Minehead is approximately 4 miles away and has Tesco, Morrisons, and Lidl, along with most everyday services. Taunton (30 miles) offers full town-centre shopping including major retailers.
