About Simonsbath, Somerset
Simonsbath commands the high, open expanse of the central moor, where the air possesses a sharp, clean clarity that scours the lungs. It lies 7.1 miles south-south-east of Lynton (from Lynton: bearing 150°T, OS grid SS 774 393), and is situated west of Exford village. Within the expansive boundaries of Exmoor National Park, Simonsbath functions as a solitary bastion against the relentless press of the elements. The nearby waters of the River Barle carve a deep, rhythmic path through the heather-clad slopes, providing a restless pulse to the quiet hills. To the north, the terrain rises toward the rugged elevation of Three Combe Hill, where the light shifts with a sudden, silver intensity that makes the very ground seem to shimmer. History lingers in the nearby ruins of Wheal Eliza, a stark reminder of failed industrial ambitions that once sought to extract wealth from this unyielding earth. The landscape here demands a peculiar resilience, favouring those who find beauty in the spare, unadorned geometry of the moorland horizon.
