Allerford Somerset Map

About Allerford

Allerford, a quiet hamlet, breathes the ancient air of Exmoor's western edge. It lies 6.4 km west of Minehead (from Minehead: bearing 275°T, OS grid SS 905 469), and is situated east of Porlock village. Here, the land slopes gently towards the Bristol Channel, its greensward softened by the perpetual mist that often drifts inland, imbuing the stone cottages with a pearly luminescence. The clear waters of the River Aller, crossed by ancient packhorse bridges, murmur a constant, low song through the heart of Allerford, a sound that seems to echo the quietude of centuries past. A scattering of farmsteads, their roofs often thatched with reeds gathered from nearby wetlands, speak of a life tied intrinsically to the seasons and the soil.
