This camera looks out over the weir at Porlock, a small village on the north coast of Somerset. It is a useful check on the coastal conditions here, from the state of the water to the wind and cloud over Porlock Bay. Anyone planning a walk or a drive over Porlock Hill can see the view before setting out.

About Porlock and its setting

Porlock sits at the foot of Porlock Hill, where the steep wooded slopes of Exmoor meet the shingle and mudflats of Porlock Bay on the Bristol Channel. The village is small and old, with thatched cottages and a long main street. The weir, a low structure on the water's edge, is one of the points where the village meets the sea, and the surrounding landscape is a mix of moorland, woodland and coast that is typical of the Exmoor national park.

What the camera shows

The camera is aimed at the weir and the water around it, so the main things to watch are the tide level, the colour and movement of the sea, and the sky over the bay. Conditions change noticeably with the tide and the weather. Late afternoon and evening light often brings out the hills behind the village, and clear winter days can be especially sharp. Exact details depend on the view and the weather at the time you look.

Practical notes and nearby cameras

The coast here is mild for England, though exposed to Atlantic winds, and rain is common at any time of year. Spring and early autumn are often the most comfortable for walking on the coast path and the moor. If you want to compare conditions along the same stretch of coast, the cameras at Dunster, Dunster beach, Watchet and Barry are all within about 30 kilometres.
