Your chance to own a piece of England! A beautiful 6.5 acre woodland on the extreme fringes of the village of Lapford, full of wildlife and many hundreds of mature trees, all very accessible off the A377

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a prime woodland just on the fringe of the picturesque village of Lapford, adjoining the A377 Exeter to Barnstaple road having a vehicular entrance just opposite Sulby Glen.

Popes Wood extends to about 6.5 acres and has an abundance of mature trees and is interspersed with pathways and tracks.   It is bordered on its western boundary by a country stream and the main track leads to a small quarry.  

If you're interested in wildlife, this woodland has to be on your list. It is regularly visited by deer, foxes and badgers and is inhabited by a huge variety of bird life.

Grid ref:  SS7208SW

LAPFORD, a large parish and village, lies just north of the main A377 Exeter / Barnstaple road approximately 9 miles from Crediton and 16 miles from Exeter.  The village has good amenities including inns, a primary school and a preschool with an excellent OFSTED report.  On the edge of the village is a railway station and there is a regular daily bus service from the heart of the village.  The parish church, St Thomas of Canterbury, is of perpendicular style and has a fine 16th century rood screen.

DIRECTIONS From Crediton, stay on the A377 through Lapford Cross, passing the railway station on your left. Proceed for another half mile and Popes Wood will be found on your right.   There is a dropped kerb on the Southern boundary which is not used currently as access - a further 65 m along the road in a westerly direction is a small opening in the hedge and in a 4x4 you can drive along the track to the old quarry where it’s easy to turn around.  Please take care when entering or exiting onto the road.
