The region
North Molton is a friendly village on the southern edge of Exmoor National Park in North Devon, set beneath the sweeping ridge that bears its name.
With roots stretching back to the Domesday Book, North Molton was once a thriving centre for copper and iron mining, and the handsome stone buildings around the village square still reflect that prosperous past. Today it is a quiet, welcoming community and an excellent base for exploring the moors, wooded valleys, and dramatic coastline of Exmoor.
Village Amenities
North Molton has a well-stocked village shop and post office, a primary school, a village hall, a sports club, and a garage. The Poltimore Arms is the village pub, serving food and drink in a traditional setting. The parish church of All Saints is well worth a visit -- its impressive Perpendicular tower dominates the village, and inside you will find fine medieval woodwork and memorials to the Poltimore family.
