The region
Bratton Fleming is a small village on the edge of Exmoor National Park, set in the lovely Bray valley between Barnstaple and South Molton.
This is a peaceful, well-placed base for exploring both the wild Exmoor moorland and the spectacular North Devon coastline. The village sits on the A399 between Barnstaple (8 miles) and Blackmoor Gate, the crossroads at the heart of Exmoor, making it easy to head in any direction for walking, beaches, or sightseeing.
Village Amenities
Bratton Fleming has a traditional village pub -- The White Hart Inn -- serving food and drink, a parish church, and a village hall that hosts occasional events. The award-winning Exmoor Zoo is based right here in the village, attracting visitors from across the region.
Nearby Shopping
The nearest shops and supermarkets are in Barnstaple (8 miles), which has Tesco, Sainsbury's, and a range of independent shops around its historic Pannier Market. South Molton (7 miles) is a handsome market town with good independent shops, a butcher, and everyday essentials. Both towns are an easy 15-minute drive.
For a wider range of shopping, Barnstaple is the main town for North Devon and has most high street stores, banks, and services.
