Location
The parish of Brayford is situated on the south-western boundary of Exmoor and includes a part of the National Park. Brayford is in a highly picturesque location, bounded by green fields and woodlands, and situated in a steep sided valley, with the River Bray running through the middle of the village and acting as a focal point. The River Bray rises on Exmoor, near Challacombe, and tumbles down to 470 feet above sea level where it flows through the village, then joins the River Mole south-west of South Molton, and finally the River Taw which eventually sweeps through Barnstaple to the sea.

The hills are populated with livestock as this is well known sheep and cattle country, and the famous red deer of Exmoor are commonly seen too.

The nearest pub is the Poltimore Arms, a short drive east from the village. For food, The Stags Head, The Black Venus and Station Inn, Blackmore Gate are local and good.

South Molton has Sainsburys and a variety of private shops with Markets on Thursday and Saturday mornings.
Bratton Fleming Stores is 3 miles away.
