LOCATION
Higher Hole Farm occupies a quiet rural location, yet is only 2½ miles from the extremely popular village of Woolsery or Woolfardisworthy West to give the correct title. This thriving community has a heritage going back beyond the Doomsday book and at its heart is a Norman Church and the recently rebuilt Farmers Arms restaurant and public house, which is extremely popular. There is also primary school, village shop, farm shop and community hall.
The North Devon coastline is approximately 5 miles to the north and has sandy beaches, quaint harbours and pretty coves to explore and enjoy. The Atlantic Highway (the A39) is approximately 3 miles sway and provides a scenic route to the ancient port town of Bideford, approximately 12 miles and continues on to Barnstaple, the regional centre of North Devon, which is a further 9 miles. From here access is gained to the North Devon link road (A361), provides a fast route to the M5 motorway and Tiverton with the mainline railway giving access to London.
