Oare remains a quiet witness to the shifting light that rolls across the high, brindled slopes of Exmoor National Park. It lies 5.2 miles east-south-east of Lynton (from Lynton: bearing 102°T, OS grid SS 801 473), and is situated west of Porlock Weir village. The ancient stone of Oare Bridge stands just a short walk away, arching over the stream like a spine bent by centuries of persistent rain. Beyond the bridge, the deep, narrow crease of Farm Combe carves a shadow into the earth, where the bracken turns to copper under the autumn sun. Oare possesses a stark, unadorned beauty that draws the eye toward the horizon rather than the hearth. The air here tastes of salt carried on the wind and the cold, clean scent of crushed gorse. Literature remembers Oare through the dark, legendary prose of R.D. Blackmore, whose imagination found a home in these lonely, windswept reaches. To walk the paths around Oare is to feel the weight of the moor, where the sky seems to press down with a vast, silent intensity.
