Strawberry Bank is a quiet rural hamlet comprising a handful of quality homes yet is only 1 mile from the A388. This gives easy access to the market towns of Holsworthy and Bideford which between them offer a comprehensive range of shops, schooling, professional services and excellent leisure ammenities. For those wishing to travel further afield the North Devon link road provides a direct link to the M5 near Tiverton. We are now also within The UNESCO World Heritage Site (inc. Saunton Sands and Taw/Torridge Estuary and in 'Ruby Country').
