About Oareford

Oareford lies within Exmoor National Park, where Somerset's moorlands meet Devon's coast. The A39 Atlantic Highway is the main route, with the M5 at Junction 25 near Taunton providing the quickest access for most drivers. The scenic B3223 through Exmoor Forest and the coastal route via Porlock Hill offer alternative approaches, though both involve challenging gradients. About 16 public fast chargers serve visiting tourists. The city's 13th-century packhorse bridge features five stone arches, each carved with different Celtic symbols.
