The region Brayford is a peaceful village in the Bray valley, on the southern edge of Exmoor National Park -- a lovely base for exploring moor, coast, and countryside. The River Bray runs through the heart of the village, which sits at a natural crossroads between Exmoor's wild open moorland to the north and the rolling green farmland of mid-Devon to the south. Stone and cob cottages, narrow lanes, and ancient hedgerows give Brayford the timeless character of a traditional Devon village. It is a quiet, unhurried place -- ideal for anyone seeking a genuinely rural retreat with easy access to some of the finest walking, riding, and fishing country in the south-west. #### Village Amenities Brayford has a community shop and post office, open limited hours, selling basic groceries and everyday essentials. The village also has a parish church and a village hall that hosts occasional events. #### Nearby Shopping South Molton, approximately 5 miles south, is the nearest market town and has a good range of independent shops, a Tesco supermarket, chemists, a post office, banks, and a twice-weekly pannier market selling local produce.
