Doverhay Farm is situated in the Exmoor National Park on the edge of the historic village of Porlock on the North Somerset coast. The farm, owned by the National Trust, is leased by the Lacey family, who run it as a small holding, raising rare breed pigs, Dexter cows, chickens, ducks and geese as well as the famous Exmoor Horn sheep, all to a strict organic regime.
The house dates from the mid 15th century and is a traditional cross passage farmhouse Evidence exists that the farm in the 17th Century was deeply involved in the smuggling trade and rumours abound of hidden rooms and secret caches.
