Porlock Weir is a harbour settlement approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) west of the inland village of Porlock in Somerset, England. "Porlock" comes from the Old English port loca, meaning an enclosure near a harbour. Porlock Weir refers to the salmon stakes and traps that were situated along the shore. Like most ports in West Somerset, the harbour is tidal, is home to a small flotilla of yachts, and is visited by many more in spring and summer.
