Barle Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

Spanning the River Barle at the entrance to Dulverton village, Barle Bridge is a stone arch bridge. The historic bridge was built in the Middle Ages and underwent restorations in the 17th century, 19th and 20th century.

On the other side of the bridge, you will find the Bridge Inn, a wonderful pub for a rest stop.

Periwinkle Cottage Tea Room

Highlight • Cafe

Brilliant cottage tea rooms nestled in the Somerset countryside along the Regional Cycle Route 51 and Two Moors Way, on the climb up to Selworthy Beacon.

Would recommend the cream teas! Check out the gift shop and gallery whilst you're there, all housed in this National Trust owned thatched cottage.
