2 Highcroft

19 Northmoor Road Dulverton Devon TA22 9DG

Dulverton, the gateway to southern Exmoor is a most attractive, hospitable little riverside town maintaining a strong identity of its own through its highly individual shops and is tucked alongside the beautiful River Barle, deep in the wooded folds of Exmoor. Not far from the centre this charming semi-detached cottage can be found, overlooking the river and perched above the road that winds up through ancient oak woods to the high moorland. 2 Highcroft has large windows most of which have views across the valley through the trees, is stylishly comfortable and a delightful spot from which to explore this beautiful area. Come here to soak up the scenery, from the steep sided valleys clothed in dense oakwood, heather covered moorland and clear flowing rivers to the remarkable coastline where plunging cliffs and woods meet the sea. Exmoor offers uninterrupted natural beauty on a grand scale, so the walking and riding is unsurpassed.
