A timeless rural landscape of thatched cottages, nestled in the vale of the Holnicote Estate.

The village of Selworthy is a timeless rural landscape of thatched cottages, nestled in the vale of the Holnicote estate. From Selworthy you walk through wooded combes and see sweeping views across to Dunkery Beacon, Exmoor’s highest point. Alternatively, you can head down to the beautiful Selworthy green and enjoy a tasty treat from the tea room.
Most of our places run the Gift Aid on Entry scheme at their admission points.
Under this scheme, if you're not a member you have the choice of two entry tickets:
If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you a clear choice between the Gift Aid Admission prices and the Standard Admission prices at the admission point. It's entirely up to you which ticket you choose.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid - an extra 25 per cent - potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below:
| Gift Aid | Standard | |
|---|---|---|
| Amount paid by visitor | £11.00 | £10.00 |
| Tax refund from Government* | £2.75 | £0.00 |
| Total received by the National Trust | £13.75 | £10.00 |
