About Porlock Weir

Porlock Weir perches where Exmoor's cliffs plunge into the Bristol Channel, reached via the famously steep Porlock Hill on the A39 or the gentler toll road through Porlock village. The harbor sits behind a protective stone wall with wooded slopes rising dramatically behind. With about 16 EV charging points nearby, it's well-equipped for electric vehicles tackling the demanding coastal roads. The village retains its working winch system for hauling fishing boats up the shingle beach.
