The region
+ MoreSet in the foothills of the Brendon Hills on the southern slope of Croydon Hill, Luxborough enjoys a peaceful and beautiful setting. Luxborough is a small village that is divided into the hamlets of Churchtown, Kingsbridge and Pooltown, which all lie within a mile of each other. ...In years gone by people came to the Luxborough area to mine iron ore and it was sent via the West Somerset Mineral Railway to Watchet on the coastline. In the 19th century the school was reported to have 200 pupils from the village and the iron mines in the Brendon Hills. The ancient Church of St Mary in Churchtown is believed to date from Norman times, or some believe it may be Saxon times due to a Cross in the Churchyard. Today, St Mary's is a Grade II listed building. Roadwater is situated 4 miles to the east and the popular village of Dunster is 4.5 miles to the north. Roadwater has a local shop, post office, village hall and an Inn and is situated approximately 4 miles from Williton, which has a larger range of shops providing for day to day needs. Bridleways and footpaths crisscross near and through Luxborough, including the famous Coleridge Way which passes through the village. Local amenities Mill Cottage is situated on the outskirts of the pretty village of Luxborough. The Royal Oak Inn serves drinks and good food, approx 1 mile away. Wheddon Cross (approx 5 miles) has a newly refurbished mini-supermarket with Post Office facilities and a petrol station with good opening times. Roadwater is also has a local shop and pub which serves food. Dunster is also approx 4 miles, but in the other direction, this wonderful medieval village is really worth a visit, it has lots of shops, restaurants, tea rooms and a village shop. Minehead is the nearest town, approximately 7 miles away. Here you will find the larger supermarkets and petrol stations (Tesco and Morrisons are both situated on the outskirts of the town and have long opening hours), most major high street banks with cash machines, plus a range of other shops throughout the town. Tesco, Sainsbury's, Waitrose as well as Cook from Taunton will deliver to the property.
The village pub, the Royal Oak serves good food and drink. It is one mile away and can be reached via a footpath. Shut Mondays. Further afield the Valiant Soldier in Roadwater has a comprehensive menu. Reeves in Dunster and Woods in Dulverton would be our fine dining recommendations but get quite booked up. There is a lot of choice in Dunster for lunch and tea.
Dunster Castle and its gardens are definitely worth a visit We are close to the coast so opportunity for sea fishing, fossil hunting, walking the south west costal path or simply sitting on the beach. Nearby is Wimbleball lake offering activities such a canoeing. Minehead is the start of the West Somerset Steam railway, not to be missed. The moor is on our doorstep. A number of local companies offer safaris to see the deer, ponies etc. The area is littered with bridleways so wonderful for off road and on road cycling a well as walking and horse riding. You can bring your horse on holiday with us! We are a mere 20 mins for West Somerset and Minehead golf club. A little further to the infamous Saunton Sands and Westward Ho! courses.
There is lots of lovely walking from your doorstop. You can join the Coleridge Way at the top of the farm. The area is littered with footpaths. A local map is provided. The south west costal path is nearby. Minehead provides the best local beach for a hot day. Dunster is the nearest a mere 10 minute drive away. Kilve, a little further away is a dream for fossil hunters. Further afield are the infamous Devon beaches of Wilacombe, Ifracoombe and Sauntons Sands.
