Welcome to Sticklepath

Sticklepath is a small village located in Somerset, England. It is situated on the edge of Exmoor National Park and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its picturesque thatched cottages and traditional architecture. Sticklepath has a rich history, dating back to the 13th century when it was a thriving market town. Today, it is a peaceful and charming village that attracts visitors from all over the world.

One of the main attractions in Sticklepath is the Church of St. Mary the Virgin. This beautiful church dates back to the 13th century and is a fine example of Gothic architecture. The church is known for its stunning stained glass windows and intricate carvings. Visitors can also explore the churchyard, which is home to many historic graves and monuments. The church is open to visitors throughout the year and is a must-see for anyone visiting Sticklepath.
