When you think of an archetypal rural English village, you typically assume it has amenities such as a school, a. pub and a village shop. And happily, unlike many villages, Musbury has all these: St Michael’s Church, The Hind Pub, a Garage and Spa Shop plus a village hall, a Post Office, a community playing field and allotments – all contributing to a vibrant community life. In spite of its many assets, Musbury is not overpopulated with holiday cottages either. This East Devon village is also nicely located near several notable places of interest and tourist attractions. A few highlights include:
