Horns Cross is a small village in the parish of Parkham situated west of Bideford along the Atlantic Highway (A39). It shares local amenities with nearby Bucks Cross, Parkham, Hartland, Woolsery and Bideford.
You are well catered for with historic pubs like The Coach & Horses Inn and the Hoops Inn, a 13th century thatched inn believed to have been the haunt of smugglers and ancient mariners such as Sir Francis Drake, Sir Walter Raleigh and Sir Richard Grenville. This tiny hamlet, straddling the boundary between the parishes of Alwington and Parkham, branches out from the crossroads on the A39 Atlantic Highway perfectly positioned midway between Bideford and the famous fishing village of Clovelly. To the north lies the Atlantic Heritage Coast with spectacular views over Bideford Bay whilst to the south lies acres upon acres of farmland and unspoilt countryside, the landscape changing with the seasons.
Sitting astride the Atlantic Highway (A39), Horns Cross is well served by the main feeder route across the region leading to Wadebridge in Cornwall to the south-west and to the M5 by Tiverton in the east. A bus service provides access to North Devon’s ‘capital’, Barnstaple. Bus users can also reach Westward Ho!, Bideford, Braunton, Appledore, Croyde, Okehampton, Holsworthy, Great Torrington, Hartland and Ilfracombe.

Continue on this road passing through Fairy Cross and then through Horns Cross. Continue past the Coach and Horses Inn on your right hand side and then take the next right hand turning. Proceed up the lane to where the property will be found on your right hand side.
