The village is known as 'the gateway to Exmoor' and offers a well regarded local primary school, public house, community shop, a sports club, parish church, Methodist Chapel, hairdresser's and a garage. North Molton is a traditional Devon village which winds its way down to the river Mole only a mile or so from the Exmoor National Park with its many beauty spots nearby and providing traditional riding, hunting and sporting pursuits. The bustling market town of South Molton lies only some 3 miles to the south providing an excellent range of everyday services including shops, primary and secondary schools, restaurants and post office, together with a Sainsbury's supermarket, medical centre, recreational facilities and a cottage hospital. From South Molton the A361 North Devon link road provides access to the larger regional centre of Barnstaple as well as Tiverton and the M5 motorway (Junction 27). Mainline intercity rail links are available at Tiverton Parkway (London Paddington approx. 2 hours) with international airports at Exeter and Bristol.
North Molton is surrounded by picturesque North Devon countryside with Exmoor offering beautiful moorland scenery with many foot and bridle paths. The north coast is easily accessible with lovely sandy beaches at Instow, Saunton Sands, Croyde Bay, Putsborough and Woolacombe.
