EDITORS COMMENTS
Selworthy Village, nestled in the heart of the Exmoor National Park near Minehead, Somerset, presents a charming and picturesque scene in this early 20th century photograph. The village, which dates back to the 13th century, is renowned for its unique architecture and strong community spirit. The image captures the quaint cottages, each adorned with thatched roofs and whitewashed walls, arranged in a harmonious and orderly fashion. The cobblestone streets, lined with hedgerows and trees, add to the idyllic atmosphere. In the center of the village, a cross and memorial stand tall, serving as a reminder of the history and traditions that have shaped this community over the centuries. The village of Selworthy is situated in a valley surrounded by rolling hills and lush greenery, providing a breathtaking backdrop. The nearby River Selwood flows through the village, adding to the natural beauty of the area. The village's location also offers easy access to the rugged coastline and the expansive moors of Exmoor, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a tranquil and scenic retreat. Despite its rural charm, Selworthy Village has a rich and fascinating history. The village was once owned by the National Trust and was the inspiration for several works of literature, including R.D. Blackmore's "Lorna Doone." Today, it remains a popular tourist destination and a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional English villages. This photograph, taken circa 1910, offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the beauty and history that can be found in the quiet corners of Somerset.
