Everything about Dulverton totally explained
Dulverton is a village and
civil parish in the heart of
West Somerset,
England, near the border with
Devon. The town has a
population of 1,630 (
2002 estimate). The parish includes the hamlet of
Battleton.
Dulverton has several small industries based upon the traditions of upland
farming and the
wool trade. These include related works such such as laundrying: originally used for the washing of sheep fleeces in the leats feeding the wide and fast-flowing
River Barle, the surviving 19th century industrial
laundries continue to provide a service to surrounding businesses. Private housing stock generally ranges from medium-size to substantial
Georgian to late
Victorian family houses, with a small estate of post-war modern houses and
bungalows towards the north of town. Dulverton is a popular
tourist destination for exploring
Exmoor, and is home to the
Exmoor National Park Authority headquarters. In between the village centre and the river is a large recreation
meadow which recently underwent renovation by locals (including the pupils of Dulverton Middle school) supported by a
Barclays Bank New Futures Scheme.
2 miles from Dulverton is the smaller village of
Brushford where the
Dulverton railway station on the
Taunton to
Barnstaple line used to be. The station buildings are still visible and it's clear where the lines used to run as the railway embankment is still visible and worn in places although the rails have been lifted.
