The tiny hamlet of Hollacombe is a small parish, near the sources of the river Claw, 2½ miles situated 2.5 miles to the west of Holsworthy, with its many amenities including local produce markets.

​

The hamlet is reached via pretty Devon country lanes and in the centre is nestled the ancient 13 century St Petroc’s Church, with its aisleless interior and unusual saddleback west tower.

​

 A few farms and a clutch of houses make up the rest of this gentle rural community

Holsworthy is  an  ancient market town set in the rolling green hills of North Devon. It boasts one of the largest livestock markets in the South West. The town square, surrounded by shops, is the hub of rural life in the town with a weekly pannier market where local growers sell their fresh produce.

​

In recent years the town has seen expansion and amenities now include Waitrose, Mole Valley Farmers, M&S BP,  leisure centre, golf course, schools, college and a hospital.

The nearest beaches are in Bude, a town with numerous cafes and restaurants with laid-back charm over the border in Cornwall. With its canal, varied beaches, unique sea pool and golf course along with a busy town centre, its an ever popular tourist destination.
