• There are four marked walks around the farm – brochures for these can be found in the farmhouse reception.
• You are welcome to walk any area of the farm, but please do not enter any of the farm buildings unless accompanied by farm staff, or a member of the Edwards family.
• Please ensure all gates are left exactly as you found them – shut if they were shut, open if they were open.

In some areas and for some networks – yes.
But there is not full complete coverage – use the quietness of the valley to switch off and disconnect.

No, however, we do sell our own “100% grass fed” beef for sale in a number of different cuts, please ask at reception for options and prices.

1. Start in Exford.
2. Leave Exford heading west with the village green or your left, after 1/4 mile the road has a “Y” fork… bear left… you are now on a single track road.
3. Continue along this lane for about 2 miles then bear left at the large “Westermill Farm Campsite” sign on a tree and onto our farm lane, a couple of hundred yards thereafter arrive at the farmhouse.
4. AVOID the Muddicombe Lane and Silly Bridge route — often recommended by GPS navigation as being “shorter” — Muddicombe Lane is steep, deep, twisty, narrow and “meeting” oncoming traffic can be “no fun” at all, add to that… at the bottom of the lane, Silly Bridge is only 6’6″ wide at its widest.
5. If you are coming down Wellshead Hill — you will have to negotiate a very sharp right-hand hairpin turn onto our farm lane at the bottom of the hill, where the large Westermill sign on the tree is.

Towards the end of the camping season in 2022 — and for the first time in more than 50 years — West Somerset County Council (WSCC) declined to remove rubbish collected from our campsite. This despite the fact that we pay Business Rates to WSCC.

Last year, and since — we were and have been unable to identify a single commercial removal service willing to take on Westermill Camping as a client to remove either rubbish or recycling – the search continues…

Locally:  Exmoor Stored in Exford has all the basics, there is also the Spar or One Stop in Porlock located 7.8miles away.

For larger supermarkets:  Tescos, Morrisons or Lidls these are all located in the nearest town of Minehead around 15miles away.

Wheddon Cross about 7.2miles away.

The nearest two pubs are located in Exford, either The White Horse or The Crown Hotel.

There are several beaches nearby, all following the South West Costal Path, including Minehead, Porlock Weir, Lee Bay, Lynmouth and Woolacombe.

• Hooting … likely owls.
• Bellowing … likely cows, maybe stags in rut.
• Roaring … possibly Exmoor Beast?
