The region
+ MoreThe parish of Brayford is situated on the south-western boundary of Exmoor and includes a part of the National Park. Brayford is in a highly picturesque location, bounded by green fields and woodlands, and situated in a steep sided valley, with the River Bray running through the ...middle of the village and acting as a focal point. The River Bray rises on Exmoor, near Challacombe, and tumbles down to 470 feet above sea level where it flows through the village, then joins the River Mole south-west of South Molton, and finally the River Taw which eventually sweeps through Barnstaple to the sea. The hills are populated with livestock as this is well known sheep and cattle country, and the famous red deer of Exmoor are commonly seen too. The nearest pub is the Poltimore Arms, a short drive east from the village. This is the "local" pub and sometimes provides food. The Station Inn at Blackmoor Gate and The Black Venus at Challacombe are well respected and reliable restaurants/pubs.
Barn Cottage in Brayford is ideally situated for exploring Exmoor, the lovely North Devon beaches, National Trust properties lovely gardens open to the public, including the R.H.S. Garden in the South-West at Rosemoor. Also near interesting little market towns, e.g. South Molton, Barnstaple, Bideford. Good theatres at Barnstaple Queen's Theatre, The Plough at Torrington and The Landmark Theatre in Ilfracombe. Ilfracombe has many interesting features and Lynton and Lynmouth are lovely little places near the sea. Wonderful walks along the coast and inland. The cottage is above the village of Brayford and is a peaceful retreat! We have one mile of trout fishing upstream of the bridge, which is quarter of a mile walk down the lane from the house.
The surfing beaches are Croyde, Saunton Sands and Woolacombe - all about 15 miles from us. These are lovely sandy beaches too and Saunton Sands and Woolacombe particularly are excellent for swimming. Croyde is good, too, but has currents in the sea. The nearest beach is Combe Martin,10 miles. The North Devon Coastal Path is delightful and small chunks of it can be walked. Details in the cottage. Exmoor is where you may see wild ponies and deer and walk along the rivers. Very pretty villages, e.g. Withypool, Dulverton, Exford, Simonsbath. Also Porlock, Minehead.
