General
- Peaceful farm site 10 minutes' drive from North Molton
- Family-friendly and surfer beaches within a 45-minute drive
- On the edge of the Exmoor National Park for walks and activities
Birdsong in the morning, lambs bleating by day, starry skies of an evening… sometimes it’s a mighty fine idea to step away from the trappings of modern life and embrace life’s simpler pleasures.
These are among the rural treats served up during a stay at Headgate Farm, on a sheep farm in a secluded spot 10 minutes’ drive from the little village of North Molton. It’s a bijou little site so you’ll be among the few humans here, but there’s plenty of company to be had among the sheep, horses, alpacas, geese and chickens, and a friendly Kunekune pig called Sam.
Bring your boots along, for the farm is right on the edge of the Exmoor National Park, with trails galore and heaps of activities to seek out. You might also want to pack your beach kit (surfboard included if that’s your thing), as it’s only a 40-minute drive to the beaches of Devon’s north coast.
Things you’ll not need to take up car space with include towels and bed linen, as these are ready and waiting in your comfy caravan, which has also been kitted out with a decent-sized kitchen, a large-screen TV and a utility room with washing machine, tumble dryer and freezer (and plenty of space for wet boots and coats… just in case). A well-stocked shop and post office are 10 minutes' drive away in the village, as are two pubs for post-activity grub and drinks.
Open from 01/04/2020 to 31/10/2020

From the A361, exit just before South Molton (the third exit on the roundabout, signposted Whitechapel – a very narrow road). Proceed to the t-junction and turn right over the humpback bridge, then carry on up the hill for approximately four miles, ignoring all turnings until you arrive at Kensall Cross. Turn right here and proceed for approximately a mile to Headgate Cross. The farm entrance is on your left.
Local attractions
Exmoor’s the place for some excellent walks so head into the national park for all sorts of trails – long hikes, circular strolls, coastal rambles and a pleasing number of routes that pass by a pub. Those who hanker after a raised adrenaline level can also join mountain biking, climbing and coasteering excursions, while folks who prefer to move at a slower pace can potter around with paddleboards, canoes or kayaks.
There’s a super collection of beaches around here, too – head to Croyde to catch some waves (or learn the secrets of how to do so), take a bucket and spade to Minehead or head to Woolacombe to see what’s previously earned it a spot at the top of the UK’s best beaches list.
For a family day out you may also want to consider The Big Sheep, the Milky Way Adventure Park, Exmoor Zoo, Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park, a ride on the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway – all are within a 45-minute drive.
