About Simonsbath
Simonsbath is a quaint village nestled in the heart of Exmoor, Somerset, and serves as the main settlement of the Exmoor civil parish, the largest and least populated civil parish in the area, spanning nearly 32 square miles. With a population that declined from 203 in 2001 to 156 in 2011, Simonsbath is characterized by its scenic landscape, where the River Barle flows through the village, crossed by a historic triple-arched medieval bridge, which underwent significant repairs following floods in 1952. This unique setting makes Simonsbath an interesting location for planning applications, particularly for developments that respect the area's natural beauty and heritage.
