*************

Selworthy is a small village and civil parish 5 kilometres (3 mi) from Minehead in Somerset, England. It is located in the National Trust's Holnicote Estate on the northern fringes of Exmoor. The parish includes the hamlets of Bossington, Tivington, Lynch, Brandish Street and Allerford.

At 308 metres (1,010 ft) Selworthy Beacon, rising above the village, is one of the highest points on Exmoor. Its height defines as one of the 'marilyns"" in England. Near the summit are a series of cairns, thought to be the remains of round barrows,^[2] and the British Iron Age Bury Castle.^[3]

Bossington is separated from Porlock Bay by a shingle beach, through which flows the River Horner, forming part of the Porlock Ridge and Saltmarsh Site of Special Scientific Interest. In the 1990s rising sea levels created salt marshes, and lagoons developed in the area behind the boulder bank.^[4] The village is on the South West Coast Path.

On the hill above the village is the whitewashed 15th-century Church of All Saints, with a 14th-century tower. The pulpit includes a 17th-century hourglass and the iron-bound parish chest dates from the same time.^[18] Within the church is a copy of the Chained Book of 1609 by Bishop John Jewel, entitled Defense of the Apologie of the Church of England.^[19]

It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building.^[20]

In the churchyard is a medieval cross with three octagonal steps, a square socket, and an octagonal shaft. The head is missing.^[2][21] The churchyard provides views across the valley to Dunkery Beacon.^[3]
