The village of Simonsbath stands on the junction in the centre of Exmoor where the East-West, Exford to Challacombe road crosses the North-South, Lynton to South Molton road. There is a church called St. Lukes two hotels and Boeveys Tea Rooms.

Walking: There are a number of great walks from Simonsbath, notably down the River Barle which passes the southern edge of the village. There is also a lovely short woodland walk featuring all sorts of animals and birds carved from rough fallen timber by Mike Leach, who is a National Park Ranger.  Children will have great fun hunting them down.
