Porlock Weir lies about 1.5 miles west of Porlock and is a small settlement which has grown up around the harbour, much of the land and buildings being in the ownership of the Porlock Manor Estate. Many cottages around the area are very old and Porlock Weir is a popular visitor attraction. Like most ports in West Somerset, the small harbour is tidal but has a small home-based flotilla of yachts and is visited by many more in spring and summer.
