The local area
A wonderful range of local stores, eateries and farms around us selling fresh, local produce.
In the heart of Devon
North Lake Chapel is situated in the heart of the unspoiled, rolling countryside of mid Devon.
Near to the small village of East Worlington in the Little Dart Valley and between the small town of Chulmleigh and the village of Witheridge, both of which possess a good selection of local amenities including shops, cafes, pubs and takeways.
Large supermarkets and a wide range of shops and amenities can be found in both Crediton and Tiverton (both 25 mins by car), and Barnstable (50 min drive).
