This sweet little village sits with the Quantock Hills AONB to the east and the Brendon Hills and Exmoor National Park to the west. Stogumber is small and historic with thatched cottages, a 13th-century church and a tranquil cemetery.

The White Horse Inn is a popular pub in the village and a great place to pause for a hot lunch if you're hiking in the area. The Samaritans Way South West long-distance footpath travels through the village.

It seems that every English village is hiding some extraordinary history and Stogumber is no different: Sir Francis Drake was married here, to Elizabeth Sydenham.

Hall Farm Bed & Breakfast

Highlight • Settlement

With my phone low on juice and no caffeine in the tank, I stopped by to make hopeful enquiries.

Judi (and her dog Jessie!) were very hospitable, and couldn’t do enough to be friendly and accommodating.

It’s a lovely location and property, and although I’ve not stayed overnight, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hall Farm B&B.
