DOWN ST MARY village sits atop a hill amid a landscape criss-crossed with footpaths and bridleways, indeed the famous, long-distance footpath ‘The Two Moors Way’ passes close by. Down St Mary parish incorporates Chaffcombe and Morchard Road. The latter is home to the Devonshire Dumpling pub and provides frequent buses to Crediton and Exeter while the station gives trains for Exeter or Barnstaple. For amenities, several nearby villages offer local convenience shops, while Crediton is about a 15-minute drive away with its thriving high street full of independent shops and several well-known supermarkets.
