Abbotsham is a delightful village central to some lovely swathes of Devonshire countryside. A major bonus for walkers is the South-West Coast Path that is located close by. The more athletic buyers can enjoy a beautiful stroll to Westward Ho! Or Buck Mills and Clovelly. The rugged and breathtaking Greencliffs is where a seam of very rare type of coal emerges from the earth. Bideford Black as it’s called, is only found in this region and you can find pieces of it strewn along the rocks. Take some home to use as charcoal!

Abbotsham itself enjoys a good pub, a twice weekly outreach post office, primary school, church and village hall that can be used for community events. For youngsters, there’s the famous fun park ‘The Big Sheep’, that’s so popular with kids far and wide. For grownups, there’s a brewery and regular farm shows. It’s an ideal day out within easy walking distance for any visitors who turn up to see you in the warmer months.

It’s within short driving distance of the Atlantic Highway (A39) that is the main feeder route across the region leading to Wadebridge in Cornwall to the south-west and to the M5 by Tiverton in the east.
