Berrynarbor is a rural, coastal community which can be found in North Devon. In one of North Devon's largest parishes, the village nestles on the eastern slope of a diverse beautiful combe, rich in meadow, pasture land and wooded cleaves. Its name is derived from past manorial lords - the Berry and De Nerbert families. 

 

The focal point of Berrynarbor Village is its fine church with lofty pinnacled tower, Norman arch and ancient monuments. A mellow peal of six bells is regularly rung by the local band of ringers. It is approached through a 17th Century lich-gate and original cobbled path. 

 

To the west of the church wall are the remains of the 14th Century Manor House, partly rebuilt in Victorian times to provide a splendid village hall. This social venue is constantly used for a wide variety of activities and functions. 

 

Grouped around the church are old cottages which form the nucleus of the village. Over the years, restoration has been sympathetic to their original charm and character. It's here we find the essential facilities for a thriving community - the post office/general store, busy little school and village pub. 

Tourism is very well catered for within the Parish. A choice of accommodation ranges from quality hotels and guest houses, self-catering establishments and caravan and camping parks. 

 

Within the village is a free car park, a public 'Quiet Garden', children's play area and tea room/restaurant. On the northern edge of the village is another pub/restaurant converted from the old Saw Mill.
