Duddings
Country Cottages - Set in a stunning unspoiled location, with lovely views of
the surrounding countryside, Duddings offers all the
ingredients for a memorable holiday in the beautiful Exmoor National Park. 3
miles from the coast, Duddings is an ideal base from
which to explore the 600 miles of local public footpaths and bridleways. Many
picturesque villages and harbours lie within easy reach, and the famous ponies
and red deer can be found on the moor. The medieval village of
Dunster is only 2 miles away, and is well worth
exploring for its castle, priory, church, tithe barn, dovecote, water mill, and
the famous Yarn Market.
