Parracombe

4 miles from Lynton and Lynmouth

Situated in a steep part  of the Heddon valley.  The old church of St. Petrock is of great interest as it is unspoilt from the 17th and 18th centuries.  Holwell Castle is a medieval motte and bailey castle and the circular earthworks can been seen adjacent to the new church.  Paths and roads lead to the wildness of Exmoor at Chapman Barrows and the coastal beauty of the woodlands at Hunter's Inn.

Heddon Hall is worth a visit with its gardens and refreshment can be obtained at the Fox and Goose which has a fine table.
