Very quiet

Porlock is a pretty seaside village on the coast of Somerset. It's very quiet and has two developments, the first is Porlock itself, and the second is Porlock Weir. The sea offers a lovely fishing port with coloured boats and cliffs in the distance, just like a postcard. To reach Portlock, it's best to rent a car from Bristol or Taunton, so you can drive along the coast of Somerset and Devon, which has even more charm and villages. Porlock is quite popular with tourists, and several writers have described it in their novels. There is a small tourist office in town, but it's run by a volunteer and only has a few resources.

The office sells typical regional products, like strawberry jam. The beach at Porlock Weir is very nice in the summer, but it's still in England! Bury Castle is on the east side of town. It's a fortification from the old Iron Age built by people from this region during that era, 8000 years ago. The region that is now Porlock beach used to be 7 kilometres from the coast, but over the years, the sea has risen a lot because the land is very flat.
