Zeal Monachorum is situated 8 miles northwest of Crediton, hidden within vast and tumultuous farmlands. Its name is of Latin origin ‘Cella Monachorum’– meaning ‘Cell of the Monks’. Like many Devon villages Zeal is home to a number of period properties, and buildings that have a strict conservation status – preserving the traditional beauty expected from rural settlements. Its church is old (understatement) (1235, late Saxon) and in its yard is a yew tree rumoured to have experienced a 1000 birthdays or more (not that anyone celebrates). The village is also known for having the most family friendly inn around, ‘The Waie Inn’ – offering great food & drink, both outdoor and indoor children’s play areas, a heated swimming pool, skittle alley, large function rooms (for weddings, parties etc), an astro turf pitch, squash courts, fishing lake and B&B rooms.

DIRECTIONS : From Crediton take the A377 in a westerly direction, at Copplestone bear around to the right after the lights, continue through to Morchard Road and take a left turn onto the B3220.  Take the 2nd left turn signposted to Zeal Monachorum.  Upon entering the village take a right turn onto Western Road opposite the Church.  Seymour House can be found along to the right marked by a Helmores board.
