Location
Foxglove Hut sits in a rural position near Wimbleball Lake, the village of Brompton Regis is nearby, it's a small village in a quiet location on the eastern side of Exmoor National Park. It was once a market ‘town’ and one of the largest in the area, divided into Highertown and Lowertown. Now, the community run village shop is located in the village hall, stocking essentials.

Wimbleball Lake is a reservoir which can store more than 21,000 megalitres of water and offers all kinds of water-based activities.

Dulverton is approx 5 miles from Brompton Regis and is known as the southern gateway to Exmoor. It's a pretty small town with a butcher, Post Office, fish & chip shop, greengrocer, late-opening supermarket, art gallery, hairdressers, guns and fishing tackle shop. There are also a number of quality boutiques, interesting gift shops plus a handful of lovely restaurants, tea rooms and pubs.

Wheddon Cross is around 6 miles away, and has a mini-supermarket with long opening hours, a petrol station and a village pub too. Dunkery Beacon (1704 feet above sea level) is about three miles further on from the village, there are fantastic panoramic views from Dunkery; wild moorland to the west, the Bristol Channel and Wales to the north, the rolling Brendon Hills to the east and the Quarme Valley to the south. In recent years Wheddon Cross has become famous for the abundance of snowdrops in the nearby valley which has become known as 'Snowdrop Valley'. The snowdrops bloom around February and a park and ride system operates from the village to enable visitors easy access to the "carpet of snowdrops".
