Molland is a tiny, remote hamlet on the southern edge of Exmoor National Park, set deep in the rolling hills between South Molton and Dulverton in North Devon.
This is one of the most peaceful and unspoilt corners of Exmoor, where narrow lanes wind between high hedgerows, red deer roam the open moorland above, and the pace of life has changed very little over the centuries. Molland is renowned for its exceptional medieval church -- St Mary's -- which preserves a remarkable set of 18th-century box pews, a three-decker pulpit, and a Georgian interior virtually untouched since the 1700s. It is considered one of the finest unspoilt church interiors in Devon.
The village has a traditional pub, the London Inn, and is surrounded by open Exmoor moorland offering superb walking and wildlife watching from the doorstep.
South Molton -- Approximately 6 miles north. A handsome North Devon market town with a good range of independent shops, cafes, a Tesco supermarket, chemist, post office, and a weekly pannier market.
Dulverton -- Approximately 10 miles east. A small market town on the southern edge of Exmoor National Park with independent shops, a butcher, a chemist, and the Exmoor National Park Visitor Centre.
For larger supermarkets and high street shops, Barnstaple is approximately 18 miles to the north-west and Tiverton approximately 18 miles to the south.
