Exford, Somerset

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Exford is a rural village at the centre of Exmoor in Somerset, England.

Situated on the B3224, the main route across Exmoor, it is a small village on the River Exe famous for Hunting, Shooting, Fishing and horse riding.

The centre of the village surrounds a traditional, picture-perfect village green, and is home to little more than a Post Office, newsagents, general store, youth hostel and primary school as well as a large children's play area. There is a church approximately 1/2 mile from the village itself.

The Devon and Somerset Staghounds have had their kennels at Exford since 1875.

There are two large, well-known hotels, The Crown and The Exmoor White Horse Inn owned by local photographer Peter Hendrie.
