Situation and amenities

Lake is a tiny but picturesque village, close to Barnstaple. Although small, the village boasts a castle, a village hall, as well as an active community. To the north, Barnstaple, the ancient borough and administrative centre for North Devon is about 2.5 miles, and offers an extensive range of both business and leisure facilities, including the Green Lanes Shopping Centre, out of town superstores, live theatre, leisure centre, tennis centre and sprinter train service that runs through to the cathedral city of Exeter. There is also access nearby to the A361 North Devon Link Road, which provides much improved communications to and from North Devon, connecting directly as it does through to Junction 27 of the M5 Motorway to the east side of Tiverton, where there is also the Parkway Railway Station (London Paddington in just over 2 hours). Within half an hour by car, are the safe, sandy, surfing beaches at Saunton, Croyde, Woolacombe and Putsborough. Exmoor is also a similar distance.
