Things to Do
‘The Arches’ is located between the Devon coasts and a 45 minute drive will see you at the sea giving you the spoilt choice for the Beaches on the North or South Coast. Try the surf, (hire available) at Braunton/Croyde or the many cafes and bars at Exmouth, (also a great day out on the train).
There are plenty of walks and greenlanes a little further afield. The footpaths at Heywood Forest are extensive and you may explore the early Mott & Bailey. For the more adventurous there is plenty of Hiking/Climbing on Exmoor or Dartmoor, (both within an hours drive) and even a quality Climbing wall at South Molton.
For shopping why not head to Exeter or Plymouth, alternatively there are local markets at Crediton, South Molton and Barnstaple.
There are plenty of Golf courses in the area including an 18 holes at Chulmleigh
There are some Horse Riding Stables in Chulmleigh, (Boldtry) where lessons may be taken or a Quad Bike experience at Yarnsacombe nr Barnstaple.
