Situation & Amenities - The land is beautifully located, to the North Western end of the Exmoor National Park, in a pretty unspoilt valley, adjoining land in the ownership of The National Trust, and about a mile inland from the dramatic North Devon coastline. Trentishoe is midway between the twin coastal resort towns of Lynton and Lynmouth (about 7.5 miles to the east) and the village of Combe Martin (approx. 5.5 miles to the west). About half a mile to the north is the ancient parish church and a similar distance in the opposite direction is the Hunters Inn at Heddon’s Mouth. Barnstaple, the regional centre is about 15 miles or just over ½ hour away to the south. At Barnstaple there is access to the North Devon Link Road, which runs on to Jct.27 of the M5 motorway in about a further 45 minutes or so and where Tiverton Parkway offers a fast service train to London Paddington in just over 2 hours. North Devon’s famous surfing beaches are all about ½ hour away. There are extensive walks and bridle paths on Trentishoe Common and surrounding unspoilt farmland.

From the outskirts of Combe Martin, travel east on the A399. Within ½ a mile turn left, sign posted ‘Trentishoe/Hunters Inn’. Follow this road for about 3.5 miles and over country lanes. With the sea to your left and on to Trentishoe Common and as you drop down into the tree line you will arrive at a junction and a settlement of properties on your left - the first of these is known as Syringa Cottage. The land is diagonally opposite this, up a track signed with a National Trust parsonage wood sign, and can be identified by our ‘For Sale’ board.
