King's Nympton - Local Information
The village of King's Nympton is ideally situated to explore much of the beautiful North Devon countryside.
The local area is mostly dedicated to agriculture, which in addition to the local rivers provides a beautiful surrounding environment for walking, fishing and other outdoor pursuits. There are also extensive cycling routes, taking you around some of the most glorious North Devon and Exmoor scenery.
Located halfway between Exmoor and Dartmoor, the village of King's Nympton is approximately a 30 minute drive from the beautiful North Devon coast and a 10 minute drive from the traditional market town of South Molton. This gives you the opportunity to sample some of the finest local Devon produce.
One other area of significance is King's Nympton Park which is a private estate of some 600 hectares with great heritage, which links closely to that of the village.
The village remains reasonably small with a local population just below 400, split evenly throughout the surrounding rural area and the village itself.
The Grove Inn is the only public house in the village, previously named the New Inn it chose the change to reflect the village's Celtic heritage.
