Hidden on the eastern edge of Exmoor is the ‘lost’ village of Clicket. These are signs of the ancient village, which existed as far back as the 14th century.
Clicket was still in existence in the 1800s being listed in the Tithe Map of 1844. According to Somerset Live, it is an old mill village that served nearby farms where lime was quarried.
The crumbling remains can be found by trekking down the public footpath sign off Whitswood Deep near Minehead. While it’s not a hike for the faint-hearted, it will take you into nature and far from the madding crowd. Steep paths surrounding the area have been blamed as the reason the village was eventually abandoned as it was difficult for carts to access it.
