Bampton, a historic Charter Town, lies in mid Devon close to the Somerset border, and is on the edge of the Exmoor National Park.
For the visitor, Bampton is
ideally sited in rural Devon, and is at the
centre of an area where there is much to do and explore. The whole of the centre of the town is a conservation area, and there are almost 100 listed buildings and other objects within the parish. Our town has a surprising range of local
amenities - shops, pubs, restaurants, businesses, and places to stay. It
also has quite a history from the Romans to its early Saxon origins, the Norman castle motte,
the
wool and pony trade, the 12th century church, the quarrying of the local stone;
now it is a thriving centre used by local villagers and visitors.
