It lies within the boundaries of Exmoor National Park, to the north of the village of Selworthy and northwest of Minehead. A road leads to the top, where there is a National Trust plaque and a view of the south coast of Wales across the Bristol Channel.[1] The South West Coast Path also climbs the hill and ends slightly shy of the summit.[2][2] GeographySelworthy Beacon is located in northern Somerset in southwestern England, about {{convert|4|mi|0}} northwest of Minehead, north of the village of Selworthy.[3] Selworthy Beacon is one of three peaks in Somerset, the other two being Dunkery Beacon and Periton Hill.[4] Its elevation is {{convert|1013|ft}}.[5] Behind the hill, there are precipitous cliffs.[6] Selworthy Beacon is situated within the National Trust-owned Holnicote Estate. Nearby are the Macmillan Way, Coleridge Way, and a fourteenth-century tithe barn. A signposted walking route to the hill goes through a wooded area of Allerford and Holnicote Plantations,[5][7] and is {{convert|2|mi|0}} northeast of Porlock.[4] HistoryNear the summit are a series of cairns, thought to be the remains of round barrows,[8] and the British Iron Age Bury Castle.[9] The round cairns have been scheduled as an ancient monument.[10] In the sixteenth century, Selworthy Beacon was (as its name implies) the site of a beacon to warn of impending invasions.[2] The mausoleum of Sir Thomas Dyke Acland is located about {{convert|0.25|mi|m}} from Selworthy Beacon.[3] WildlifeExmoor coastline is part of the Exmoor National Park (area {{convert|267|sqmi|km2}}) and Selworthy Beacon is on Exmoor’s stiff eastern slopes. It is approached from Porlock via Allerford.[11] Typical coastal plants are present, such as Sea Campion and Thrift (Armeria maritima), as well as gorse and heather (Calluna vulgaris).[12] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/somerset/content/panoramas/selworthy_beacon_360.shtml|title=Selworthy Beacon|publisher=BBC|date=2006-08-17|accessdate=4 May 2013}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.walkingbritain.co.uk/walks/walks/walk_b/1221/|title=Walk 1221 - Selworthy Beacon & North Hill from Bossington|accessdate=4 May 2013|publisher=Walking Britain}} 3. ^1 {{cite book|last=Ward|first=Charles Slegg|title=North Devon Including West Somerset and North Cornwall from Exmoor to the Scilly Isles: With a Description of the Various Approaches|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Cf4aAAAAYAAJ&pg=PR51|edition=Public domain|year=1897|publisher=Dulau|pages=51–}} 4. ^1 {{cite book|last=Turnbull|first=Ronald|title=Three Peaks, Ten Tors: And other challenging walks in the UK|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=j9w5_s4EL40C&pg=PA98|date=9 September 2010|publisher=Cicerone Press Limited|isbn=978-1-84965-147-9|pages=98–}} 5. ^1 {{cite book|author=James Roberts|title=Walking in Somerset|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IhLY0WZUtRsC&pg=PA75|accessdate=5 May 2013|date=1 January 1997|publisher=Cicerone Press Limited|isbn=978-1-85284-253-6|pages=75–}} 6. ^{{cite book|last=Hancock|first=Frederick|title=The Parish of Selworthy in the County of Somerset: Some Notes on Its History|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xpYLAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA7|edition=Public domain|year=1897|publisher=Barnicott and Pearce|pages=7–}} 7. ^{{cite book|last1=Drew|first1=Keith|last2=Andrews|first2=Robert|title=The Rough Guide to Bath, Bristol & Somerset: Includes Salisbury and Stonehenge|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AogoGyWYcjoC&pg=PA268|date=1 March 2012|publisher=Rough Guides|isbn=978-1-4053-9381-2|pages=268–}} 8. ^{{cite book |title=A Field Guide to Somerset Archaeology |last1=Adkins |first1=Lesley |authorlink= |first2=Roy |last2=Adkins|year=1992 |publisher=Dovecote Press |location=Wimborne, Dorset |isbn=0-946159-94-7 |pages=101 }} 9. ^{{cite book |title=Somerset and Avon |last=Dunning |first=Robert |authorlink= |coauthors= |year=1980 |publisher=John Bartholomew & Son |location=Edinburgh|isbn=0-7028-8380-8 |pages=125 }} 10. ^{{NHLE|desc=Round cairn cemetery, 570m east of Selworthy Beacon|num=1020794|accessdate=28 February 2015}} 11. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.walkingpages.co.uk/places/np_exmoor.html|title= Exmoor National Park|accessdate =5 May 2013|publisher= Walkingpages.co.uk}} 12. ^1 2 {{Cite web|url=http://www.southwestcoastpath.com/walksdb/219/|title=Walk — Selworthy Beacon|accessdate=4 May 2013}} External links
