MORCHARD BISHOP is one of the larger parishes in the county lying east of the A377 Exeter / Barnstaple road and north west of Crediton, and having a population of just under 1,000. It nestles comfortably in the very heartland of Devon, midway between the north and south coast and sitting between the two great Moors, Dartmoor and Exmoor. The village is surrounded by hilly, unspoilt countryside, yet is within easy travelling distance of Crediton (approximately 7 miles), the City of Exeter (approximately 14 miles) and Tiverton (approximately 15 miles). The village is well served by local regular buses to Crediton and Exeter and is 3 miles from Morchard Road station on the Barnstaple to Exeter Tarka line. It has an attractive mixture of old thatched cottages and modern houses with amenities such as the parish church, primary school, Doctors Surgery, post office stores, garage and London Inn. There is also a sports club, tennis court, village hall and a bowling green.

DIRECTIONS Follow the A377 from Crediton towards Barnstaple for approximately 6 miles and turn right at Morchard Road (just before The Devonshire Dumpling Inn) and proceed for 2 miles. On entering Morchard Bishop proceed past The London Inn and down the hill (Fore Street). At the bottom of the hill, the cottage will be found on the right hand side.
