Towns and Villages Index

Dulverton can be considered to be the Southern gateway to Exmoor.  The town stands between the rivers Barle and Exe which converge a mile or so down the valley.  Standing next to the Barle at the western end of Dulverton is Exmoor House, the headquarters of the Exmoor National Park Authority.  The town has several streets of shops including a butcher, NatWest Bank, Post Office, fish & chip shop, greengrocer, late-opening supermarket, art gallery, hairdressers, guns and fishing tackle shop.  There are a number of quality boutiques and interesting gift shops.  Lewis's Tea shop and the new Browns restaurant are very popular.  Just along the road is the National Park Visitor centre, which shares premises with the local public library. Visitors with caravans, trailers etc should avoid the centre of Dulverton as the road North into the Park is very narrow and bendy.  The Caravan Club site behind the National Park HQ is best approached from the South. There are a GP doctors practice, a dentist and a veterinary surgery in the village centre. There are many walks from the town - the riverside walks both ways along the Barle being very popular. The wild open moorland of Winsford Hill on Exmoor is just a few miles North up the Barle valley from here.
