The region is not only renowned for its outstanding and award-winning beaches with their vast expanses of golden sands but also for its plethora of enchanting and quaint villages, lush, rolling countryside and the rugged, uncompromising beauty of Exmoor National Park and its dramatic coastline.
The market town of South Molton offers a comprehensive range of amenities, including schooling from nursery to secondary level, Sainsbury's supermarket, Post Office, banking facilities, pubs, cafes and an abundance of independent and artisan shops. The town bustles when the 'national award winning', popular twice weekly pannier and weekly stock markets take place.
The A361 bypasses the town and provides brisk passage to Barnstaple and the North Devon coast to the west and the M5 and Tiverton Parkway train station (London Paddington 1h 57m) to the east.
