Situation and Amenities

Whilst enjoying a truly rural setting, Galliards is surprisingly conveniently situated with the villages of Kentisbeare, Uffculme, Culmstock and Hemyock all being within a short drive. Blackborough has a wonderful village community, with a village hall hosting a range of activities. More extensive shopping and schooling facilities are to be found in the country towns of Cullompton, Wellington or Honiton, whilst the M5 facilitates rapid commuting south to the cathedral city of Exeter or north to Taunton or beyond. The nearby mainline railway station of Tiverton Parkway provides a rapid link with London (Paddington). The comparatively central Mid Devon location places the picturesque national parks of Dartmoor and Exmoor together with the north and south Devon coastlines all within a modest car journey. Primary schooling is available in the nearby villages, with the highly regarded Uffculme Secondary School being close at hand.
