Selworthy, Somerset This delightful village of picturesque thatched
cottages is part of the National Trust's huge Holnicote Estate, which takes in
over 12,000 acres of Exmoor coast and countryside. The charm of Selworthy
is the wonderfully preserved thatched cottages and the historic All Saints church.
The church is perched on the side of the hill, and the view from the porch out
over the Vale of Porlock to the moors beyond is quite superb. Highlights
in the church include the 12th century font, painted nave ceiling, and 18th century
gallery. Selworthy is reached down a narrow lane just north of the A39,
about 2 miles west of Minehead. There is a small (free) parking area opposite
the church, and a larger overflow parking area 100 yards further on. A footpath
from the village leads up to Selworthy Beacon, which offers excellent views in
all directions. Images of Selworthy
