Porlock Weir is a tiny, picturesque harbour village on the Somerset coast within Exmoor National Park, renowned for its intimate maritime setting and significant literary connections. The harbour, with its small stone quay and historic buildings, gained particular fame through its association with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who was famously interrupted while writing his poem “Kubla Khan” nearby in Porlock. The village has attracted writers and artists for centuries, with its sheltered harbor and stunning coastal landscape providing inspiration for numerous creative works. Historically a working harbour for coastal trade and fishing, Porlock Weir now serves as a charming tourist destination, maintaining its maritime character while preserving the quiet, contemplative atmosphere that has drawn notable figures to its shores.
