We passed through Porlock village on our recent roadtrip (July 2020) and up the notorious PORLOCK HILL !! in the Ford Econoline Van.

Porlock is a coastal village in Somerset, England, 5 miles (8 km) west of Minehead. It has a population of 1,440.[

In 2010, Porlock had the most elderly population in Britain, with over 40% being of pensionable age.

Porlock Hill is a road west of Porlock, Somerset. It is part of the A39, connecting Porlock to Lynmouth and Barnstaple in Devon and is the steepest A-road in the United Kingdom, approaching 1 in 4 (25%) in places. A parallel toll road is available which travels the same route at an easier gradient.
