South Molton
A little market town on the southern edge of Exmoor, South Molton sits on the River Mole and trades in sheep and cattle, with a heritage-dense centre and a modest spread of cafés and restaurants. The town lies just off the A361 North Devon link road, which partly follows the route of a former railway line closed in 1966.
