About Being Wood

Leaf

A wild welcome from Being Wood.


A small, peaceful woodland with sea views, our space is offered with one simple intention: to give people a chance to switch off, slow down, and reconnect — with nature, with others, and with themselves.


Just a short walk to from the village of Porlock and its beautiful coast, this little patch of Exmoor feels pretty special. With birdsong in the trees, wild ponies on the hills, and stars overhead at night, it’s a place for rest and retreat and the perfect base for exploring Exmoor. 
 

Whether you’re here to camp under the stars, host a retreat, or just breathe deeply for a while — you’re warmly welcome.

 

We’re passionate about nature, creativity, and community. This space supports:

  • Sustainability – low-impact, with a light footprint on the land

  • Local connection – collaborating with local groups, organisations & businesses - get in touch if that's you!

  • Community spirit – special rates for not-for-profits, artists, and community groups

  • Kindness and calm – we keep it simple, small-scale, and soulful


Whether you’re dreaming of a wild weekend, planning a small outdoor gathering, or simply looking for something a little bit different — we’d love to share our space with you.

This little woodland is very much a work in progress. We love it as it is but are committed to continually improve it. If you have any feedback or suggestions for enhancing your experience, please let us know.  

We look forward to welcoming you under the trees soon.

How to find us

Being Wood is on the west side of Porlock Hill, about a third of the way up from the village of Porlock. The gate is set back rom the road and hidden from view if coming from the village.

 

If you are coming up Porlock Hill, we suggest you keep driving until you come to a parking area on top of Exmoor, stop here a while and take in the incredible views, before heading back down the hill. You will see our gate on the left hand side. 

If you don't fancy taking on Porlock Hill, take the toll road which you can pick up from the village. This is a beautiful and easier drive, but you'll need to pay a small fee for the privilege.
