The region

Allerford is a picturesque hamlet on the Holnicote Estate in the heart of Exmoor National Park, famous for its beautiful medieval packhorse bridge over the River Aller.

Nestled between Porlock and Minehead on the northern edge of the moor, this tiny settlement of stone cottages and farmsteads sits within one of the finest landscapes in Somerset. The entire hamlet is part of the Holnicote Estate, which has been owned and managed by the National Trust since 1944, preserving its unspoilt character and surrounding woodland, farmland, and open moorland.

The Village

Allerford's packhorse bridge is one of the finest in Somerset, a beautiful twin-arched medieval structure that has been a crossing point for centuries. Beside the bridge stands the former village school, now home to the Allerford Museum, a charming local history collection covering rural life on Exmoor. The hamlet is very small and quiet, with no shop, pub, or other commercial premises -- its appeal lies in its peacefulness and the beauty of its setting.
