South Molton is surrounded by picturesque, unspoilt countryside and the boundary of Exmoor National Park is only just over 4 miles to the north offering beautiful moorland scenery with many footpaths and bridleways whilst the North Devon coastline, with its spectacular scenery, wide sandy beaches and coastal walks, is also within easy reach by car.
