Situation And Amenities - Brendon is near the North Coast of Exmoor National Park in the valley which shares its name, well known to readers of Lorna Doone, as the picturesque setting for R.D.Blackmore’s classic adventure. Also nearby are Oare Church, Malmsmead and Robbers Bridge which also feature primarily throughout the book. Staghunters Inn is within a short level walk, also serving food. The twin villages of Lynton and Lynmouth are around 3 ½ miles and as well as their scenic cliffs and historic harbour, they offer a good range of shops, pubs, restaurants, primary school, library and even a cinema. Exmoor National Park offers over 260 square miles of dramatic scenery, including some of Britain’s highest cliffs, steep wooded valleys, rolling pasture, and mile after mile of open moorland, a haven for a wide range of wildlife including deer, Exmoor Ponies, buzzards and other birds of prey. Exmoor’s reputation as one of the finest areas of England for those interested in walking and riding is richly deserved. We understand that all main supermarkets deliver to the area. It is around a 75-minute drive to Taunton, where trains to London take 1 hour 50 minutes. The regional centre of Barnstaple is around 40 minutes by car, as is South Molton and Ilfracombe. The seaside town of Minehead is approximately 30-35 minutes drive. The surfing beaches of Woolacombe, Saunton (also with championship golf course) and Croyde are all within the hour. For experienced surfers, Lynmouth also offers a superb break, under the right conditions. The nearest international airports are at Bristol and Exeter.
