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.

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.

Over the years he has taken many thousands of guests on
'wildlife safaris' to see the red deer and wildlife of Exmoor.
