Exmoor and the stunning coast of North Devon may both be explored from the historic community of North Molton. The village has a welcoming tavern, post office, and store that sells great home-baked foods and locally sourced produce. South Molton, a charming town nearby, has a variety of stores and a twice-weekly market. This charming community is sure to please visitors of all tastes because it is conveniently near to both beach and inland beauty sites. Forests, moors, rivers, and beaches are all nearby, as are churches and other historical structures. The Exmoor National Park's border is only a mile or two away. The South West Coast Path offers excellent hiking opportunities, and the North Devon shoreline is attractive and varied.
