Description
Situation And Amenities - Rockford and its near neighbour Brendon, are small villages set in a beautiful 'hidden' valley near the northern coast of Exmoor National Park. The village of Brendon, and the valley which shares its name, are 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 feature primarily throughout the book. Greentiles enjoys a timeless and tranquil setting, within its own grounds. Entertainment and sustenance are close at hand at the Rockford Inn less than 250 yards from the entrance gate and the Stag Hunters Inn, Brendon, about a mile away. The twin villages of Lynton and Lynmouth are about 4 miles and as well as their scenic cliffs and historic harbour, offer a good range of shops, pubs, restaurants, churches, a 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 and is 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 walking and riding is richly deserved.
