Oare Somerset Map

About Oare

Oare rests in the embrace of Exmoor's wilder edges, a place where the land itself seems to breathe with ancient rhythms. It lies 8.4 km east-south-east of Lynton (from Lynton: bearing 102°T, OS grid SS 801 473), and is situated west of Porlock Weir village. The hamlet’s stone cottages, softened by time and lichen, seem to draw their colour from the very heather and bracken that carpet the surrounding slopes. The air here carries the clean scent of damp earth and distant sea, a subtle perfume that speaks of the wild beauty of this National Park. Oare's small church, St. Mary's, with its modest tower, has long been a quiet sentinel, its bells likely marking the slow passage of seasons for generations of villagers. The nearby streams, born of the moorland heights, tumble and sing their way towards the coast, their waters glinting like threads of silver in the soft West Country light.
