Cyclists and walkers will find this pub very welcoming after a long climb to what is the highest pub for many miles, being nearly 1,000 ft above sea level. This 19th century coaching inn, at the heart of Exmoor National Park, has its own skittle alley, pool table, dartboard and private function room. Dunkery Beacon and Snowdrop Valley are both close by. Good locally sourced food is available daily at reasonable prices and there is a carvery on Wednesday and Sunday.
