Description

The larger town of Okehampton lies approximately 12 miles distant, located on the fringes of the Dartmoor National Park and offering a more comprehensive range of shops and services including three supermarkets, primary and secondary schooling. From the town, the A30 dual carriageway is easily accessible via a direct link east to Exeter and the M5 and west to Cornwall and Plymouth. Okehampton Train Station also links to Exeter and beyond.
