Coleford is a journey back in time, a prime example of a traditional Devon hamlet. It is a designated conservation area, with a whole host of irreplaceable listed cottages and buildings. It is also home to ‘The New Inn’, known locally for its outstanding food. It is no secret that Coleford is a beautiful village – but it is also fit for a king. King Charles 1 is said to have visited Coleford during the civil war, stabling his horses there on the 22nd of July 1644, and inspecting his troops from the porch of Spencer Cottage. The nearest market town to Coleford, for a selection of modern facilities is Crediton – 3 miles to the west.DIRECTIONSFrom Crediton, take the A377 towards Copplestone, turning left as signed to Coleford at Barnstaple Cross. Continue on the country lane until arriving in Coleford. Pass The New Inn on your right and over the small bridge, Corner Cottage is on the left as you reach the junction.
