Dulverton

Dulverton is a town and civil parish in the heart of West Somerset, England, near the border with Devon. The town had an estimated population of 1,630 in 2002. The parish includes the hamlet of Battleton. Dulverton is a popular tourist destination for exploring Exmoor, and is home to the Exmoor National Park Authority headquarters.

Two miles from Dulverton is the village of Brushford, where the Dulverton railway station on the Taunton to Barnstaple line used to be. It opened in 1873 and closed to passengers, who transferred to Dulverton by bus, in 1963. The station buildings are still visible and it is clear where the lines used to run as the railway embankment is still visible and worn in places although the rails have been lifted.
