Situation & Amenities - Situated in an elevated position, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean on the rugged North Devon coast, Lundy Sound lies between Mortehoe and Lee Bay. Lee Bay is a pretty, unspoilt village within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – a coastal preservation area, a Heritage Coast and an Area of Tranquillity, which is within a quiet, rocky inlet on the North Devon coast, and one of the area’s few remaining unspoilt coastal locations. The coastal resort of Woolacombe – renowned worldwide for its 4-mile sandy beach – lies approximately 2 ½ miles to the West and offers a small range of shops. The nearby town of Ilfracombe has the Landmark Theatre and GP surgery, as well as banks, shops, schools and supermarkets. The regional centre of Barnstaple is about 14 miles and boasts a Pannier Market, live theatre and district hospital. There is also an extended range of shops including numerous major retailers and supermarkets, as well as leisure and commercial facilities. The sandy beaches of Croyde, Putsborough and Saunton (also with Championship Golf Course) are within easy reach of the property, as is Exmoor National Park. Schooling is available in Ilfracombe, Braunton and Barnstaple, as well as the well-regarded West Buckland school, for which there is a bus service within 3 miles of the property. From Barnstaple the North Devon Link Road (A361) can take you to Jct.27 of the M5 Motorway, and where nearby Tiverton Parkway offers a fast service of trains to London Paddington in just over 2 hours. The nearest international airports are at Bristol and Exeter.
