Description
Situation - The land forms part of Higher Lydacott Farm which is situated in a very appealing location, surrounded by rolling countryside with views from the farm over the River Taw estuary, yet only a short distance from Barnstaple and the A39.
The village of Fremington is one mile to the north of the farm and the nearby Fremington Quay (2.4 miles) is on the banks of the River Taw and provides direct access to the Tarka Trail between Barnstaple and Instow.
The coastal village of Instow with its renowned sandy beach is approximately 4 miles to the west of the farm whilst the historic port town of Bideford is within 5.5 miles.
The regional centre of Barnstaple (town centre 3.6 miles) provides all the area's main business, shopping and commercial facilities and also has rail services to Exeter along the scenic Tarka Line. There are also good transport links with the A39 at Roundswell (2.3 miles) which links to the A361 and the M5 motorway (Junction 27).
North Devon’s surfing beaches of Saunton, Croyde, Putsborough and Woolacombe are on the opposite side of the River Taw estuary but within an easy driving distance of the farm.
