This pretty conservation village, half a mile from the sea and 1.1/2 miles from Exmoor National Park, nestles at the foot of the beautiful Sterridge Valley. It is off the coast road between Combe Martin (1.1/2 miles) and Ilfracombe (4 miles) and so misses most of the holiday traffic. It has won several “Best Kept Village” awards.

The 16th Century “Olde Globe” in the village centre provides pub food and restaurant meals, has a skittle alley and a pool table, and welcomes children and dogs. There are other pubs and restaurants within easy distance as well as “Miss Muffet” for snacks and evening meals. The village post office/shop/off licence sells newspapers and groceries.

Berrynarbor is surrounded by spectacular countryside with local walks and is close to some of the most dramatic and varied scenery in England. At Woolacombe (about 7 miles) there are 3 miles of blue flag golden sands with lots of smaller coves and beaches even nearer.

The coastal path from Minehead to Lands End is within 1/2 mile, and offers exciting cliff top walks or beautiful short strolls from convenient car parks.

Away from the coast are the wilds of Exmoor, with red deer, hidden valleys and charming villages. There is excellent walking on many marked tracks and horse riding is readily available.

Ilfracombe has an indoor swimming pool, golf, riding stables and fishing trips from the harbour. There are also regular trips to Lundy Island to see the Puffins along with pleasure trips along the Heritage coastline.

Bideford and Barnstaple have their famous Pannier Markets 3 times a week and can offer good shopping and leisure facilities.

North Devon has been described as the last undiscovered place in the South West. The sparse population means there is a vast amount of unpopulated countryside to explore. It is so spacious that peace and tranquillity is easily found.
