The River Exe rises from a valley to the north, and the River Barle runs through the village and is crossed by a triple-arched medieval bridge that was extensively repaired after floods in 1952. Simonsbath also lies on the route of the Two Moors Way and close to the Macmillan Way West.

There are numerous beautiful villages dotted over Exmoor, many with pubs and village shops. South Molton is a fantastic country town with various amenities including a pannier market on Thursday and Saturday (it has won the award for the UK's best community market in 2023, 2024 and 2025), Mole Valley (has everything you could ever need!) and Sainsbury’s, approx 9 miles away. Barnstaple is a larger town, approx 15 miles.

Exmoor is situated in South West Britain, specifically across West Somerset and North Devon. Often referred to as England's best kept secret, Exmoor is a wonderful holiday destination for anyone looking for a holiday in the great outdoors! There's so much to see and do, from short walks to long expeditions across the moors or horse riding, taking in a red deer safari or sight-seeing at your own pace around the 'picture postcard' villages and hamlets. The beautiful beaches of North Devon are also within a easy reach (approx 40 mins in the car).
