Exford
On the B3224, the main route
East-West across the moor, Exford is a village
famous for hunting, shooting, fishing and riding. The Devon & Somerset
Staghounds have had their kennels in Exford since 1875. The houses,
newsagent/PO, stores and hotels are grouped around the village green which is
very picturesque and has plenty of seats around the perimeter.
There is a
magnificent playground for children, installed in 1999 after a very successful
fund raising effort by some local parents.
There are 2 good-sized hotels
in the village:- at the E end of the green is
the Crown hotel. The Exmoor White Horse Inn is a lovely 3 star hotel
opposite the bridge over the River Exe. Both hotels have stable yards for equestrian visitors. Indeed, finding
accommodation for your horse in Exford is never a problem and most accommodation
providers will be able to help.
There are some lovely walks South down the Exe valley from Exford.
