A stunningly positioned
270 acre working farm in the Exmoor National Park with
outstanding southerly views over the Devon countryside.
The farmhouse has been refurbished with love and care retaining some
of the original features but including the comforts of the 21st century.
Our family farm
is surrounded by some of the finest Exmoor countryside where walking,
riding, fishing, shooting and exploring can become a pleasure to enjoy.
This can be arranged prior to your visit if required.
The Doone Valley, Lynton and Lynmouth, the market towns of Barnstaple
and South Molton,
the picturesque North Devon coastline and sandy beaches are close by.
There are many excellent local pubs nearby for a quiet drink or a meal.

The period farmhouse
dates back to Roman times and the
word 'Ball' is the Roman for 'Round Hill'. The old race course ground
used for chariot races
is still on the farm. We are on the old Roman road to North Molton Hill
and were the first
settlement on the S.W. side of ExmoorNational Park.
| |
We
have approx. 25-40 deer permanently living on the farm.
There is an abundance of wildlife
for you to enjoy
|
|
|
Foxes,
buzzards, owls, woodcock,
snipe, badgers, butterfly are all
abundant on the farm and the 30
acre ancient oak woodland.
Moorland
trout can be seen in the
fast flowing stream with its
picturesque waterfalls.

Some
of these pictures were taken by Johnny Kingdom a local wildlife photographer.
You may have seen his wildlife programmes on television or his videos
for sale.
Over the years he has taken many thousands of guests on
'wildlife safaris' to see the red deer and wildlife of Exmoor.
