Situation - Beechwood is located in a private and tranquil location enjoying uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside through the valley and down towards Welcombe Beach. The rugged coastline around this region is extremely dramatic, beautiful and classed as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The renowned Welcombe Mouth is a quiet and tranquil beach, much quieter than some of the sandy beaches further down the coast due to it's limited access and remoteness, it is one of North Devon's best kept secrets! The village has a good range of amenities including a period Inn (serving daytime and evening meals) and active village church. The larger village of Hartland has an excellent range of local amenities including cafe, shops, Post Office, pubs, medical centre, church and primary school. Just over the Cornish border is the coastal town of Bude with a range of larger shopping facilities, amenities and beach. Bideford Town (around 17 miles) and the regional centre of Barnstaple (27 miles) offer a wider range of shops, businesses, (Barnstaple) train station, restaurant, leisure and commercial venues and access to the M5 motorway network via the A361.
