Park. The nearest coastline being 5 miles to the north at Watchet.
It is the ideal location for beachcombers and country walkers alike.

the centre of the village is the fourteenth century red sandstone
Church of Our Lady St.Mary.

     Attractions 


On the edge of Stogumber one can enjoy the opportunity let the train
take the strain as the West Somerset Steam Railway, running
from Bishops Lydeard to Minehead, passes through our tranquil and
delightful station making it easy to forget the hustle and bustle of
21st c life.

Following a track of just over 20 miles, this is the longest
privately owned steam railway in the country.

There are many National Trust or English Heritage properties within
easy driving distance. Dunster Castle situated in the charming
medieval village of the same name, and famous for its Yarn Market,
is approximately 20 minutes drive away on the route to Minehead.

For the garden lover Taunton's lovely Hestercombe Gardens are
approximately 16 miles away. There are numerous other gardens open
to the public, many of which are small, private havens of
tranquillity.

Each year in Stogumber during the second weekend in June there may
be between 12 to over 20 gardens open to the public to raise money
for local charities.

With a host of good pubs and tea rooms serving competitively priced
meals of excellent quality, Somerset also caters for discerning
lovers of good food.
