The region Parracombe is a peaceful village tucked into the Heddon Valley on the northern edge of Exmoor National Park, midway between Lynton and Combe Martin. Surrounded by steep wooded hillsides and open moorland, this is a quiet, unspoilt corner of Devon where red deer graze in the fields and the pace of life slows right down. The nearby hamlet of Martinhoe perches high on the Exmoor coast with dramatic cliff views across the Bristol Channel to Wales. Together, Parracombe and Martinhoe make a superb base for exploring Exmoor's finest walking country, hidden valleys, and spectacular coastline. #### Village Amenities Parracombe has the Fox and Goose pub, a traditional village inn serving food and drink, and the beautiful old Church of St Petrock, a remarkably preserved medieval church saved from demolition by the campaigning of John Ruskin in 1879\. The village is surrounded by scattered farms and quiet lanes ideal for gentle strolls. #### Nearby Towns Lynton and Lynmouth are approximately 5 miles to the east, offering a good range of shops, cafes, restaurants, and the famous cliff railway. Combe Martin is approximately 5 miles to the west, with a sandy beach, shops, and the Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park.
