Countisbury Devon Map

About Countisbury

Countisbury holds its own quiet space upon the North Devon coast, a place where the land rises with a determined grace. It lies 2.7 km east of Lynton (from Lynton: bearing 81°T, OS grid SS 747 496), and is situated east of Lynmouth village. The ancient church of St. John the Baptist, with its sturdy stone walls, stands as a sentinel against the sea breeze, its ancient timbers whispering tales of centuries past. Here, the air itself seems to carry the scent of heather and salt, a constant reminder of the wild Exmoor National Park that spills down towards the dramatic coastline. The light, when it breaks through the coastal mists, can paint the rolling hills in hues of emerald and gold, a painterly sweep across the landscape. Countisbury's enduring character is etched not in grand pronouncements, but in the very feel of its open spaces and the enduring strength of its stone.
