History and Heritage

Frithelstock has a rich history that dates back several centuries. The village is closely associated with Frithelstock Priory, a medieval Augustinian priory founded in the 12th century. Although the priory is now in ruins, it remains a significant historical site and a point of interest for visitors and historians alike. The village also features a historic church, St. Mary’s Church, which dates back to the medieval period and contains several notable features and memorials.

The village maintains a close-knit community atmosphere, with local events and activities often centred around the church and village hall.

Natural Environment

Frithelstock is surrounded by scenic countryside, including rolling fields, woodlands, and farmland. The area is popular for outdoor activities such as walking, cycling, and exploring the natural landscape. Its proximity to the North Devon coast also makes it a convenient base for those wishing to explore beaches and coastal attractions.

Transport and Accessibility

The village is accessible by rural roads, with the nearest main roads connecting it to larger towns and cities in Devon. Public transport options are limited, so most residents and visitors prefer to travel by car. The nearest railway station is in Barnstaple, providing connections to other parts of the UK.
