From the bungalow, it's a fairly level walk to the village where you will find all the usual village amenities. It's only a short walk (about 50m) to access footpaths leading to the coast and to joing a myriad of routes including to Porlock Weir, Bossington, Selworthy and more!

There are many options for eating out in Porlock, there's 3 pubs and a selection of restaurants, plus 'Piggy in the Middle' is a lovely take-away too.

For a special occasion, Reeves in Dunster is a short drive (about 25 minutes), it's a multi-award winning fine dining restaurant in this medieval village. Booking essential.
Many people come to Exmoor for the walking, and for good reason. But there are also lots of other interesting things to do, such as:
- visting the 'picture postcard' villages of nearby Selworthy and Bossington
- Lynton and Lynmouth's unique funicular railway
- Horse riding on Exmoor - recommend Burrowhayes, between Porlock and Horner
- seeking out the best cream tea from the many tea rooms dotted over the National Park
- marvelling at the architecture of the ancient clapper bridge, Tarr Steps
- exploring the medieval village of Dunster
- and more!
Cherries is ideally placed for a walking holiday and accessing Porlock Bay; the start of the the nearby footpath network it's just 50 metres (approx) from the property, which leads along towards Porlock Weir and the South West Coastal Path, or in the opposite direction towards Bossington and Hurlestone Point.

Hawkcombe is also a wonderful walk starting from the village, the woodland opens up into the open moorland the higher/further you go!
