Bampton in mid Devon lies close to the Somerset border, and is
on the edge of the Exmoor National Park.
For the visitor, it is
therefore ideally sited for road and rail links, and is at the
centre of an area where there is much to do and explore. The whole of the centre of Bampton is a conservation area, and there are almost 100 listed buildings and other objects within the parish.

Our little town has a surprising range of local
amenities - shops, pubs, restaurants, businesses, and places to stay. It
also has quite a history from its early Saxon origins, the Norman castle,
the
wool and pony trade, the 12th century church, the quarrying of the local stone;
now it is a thriving centre used by local villagers and visitors.
Bampton has been famous for over 30 years for its floral displays - Bampton in Bloom. The town has
won the national Britain in Bloom competition no less than
six times, the last being in the millennium year. Bampton has won five RHS GOLD MEDALS from South West in Bloom in recent years. The town still looks very beautiful throughout the year although we no longer enter the competition.
