Henry Williamson referred to this marvellous countryside as the Land of the Two Rivers in his engaging story of Tarka the Otter.
Our locality is high ground set between the rivers of the Torridge and the Taw, and close by provides views of both Dartmoor and Exmoor, both within easy reach.

We are near to the civil war town of Great Torrington, which is home to world famous Dartington Crystal, where guided tours of the factory enable visitors to watch the highly skilled craftsmen blowing and shaping the crystal into beautiuful designs. The Dartington Crystal Factory Shop is the biggest glass shop in the country.

The Royal Horticultural Gardens at Rosemoor - which are situated approximately 3 miles from "No Place" and the 1646 Visitor Centre, commemorating the Battle of Great Torrington, which marked the end of the Royalist resistance in the West Country and led to the eventual defeat and execution of King Charles I - are a "must see" for visitors to Torrington.

The town also affords an access to the 180-mile long Tarka Trail, which is intended primarily for the long distance walker and cyclist, although it is of value to anyone interested in more leisurely recreation. The rugged and picturesque North Devon coast is best viewed from the South West Coastal Path, which may be easily reached by car.

Gill and George enjoy opening 'No Place' to company and are committed to ensure a homely and friendly welcome.
We have greeted guests from all over the UK and overseas and insist that our visitors treat the facilities we offer as they would their own home.
We have enjoyed meeting all our guests - and although they have arrived as guests they have left as friends!
Whether visiting family in the area, enjoying the many gardens, coast and countryside, cycling, walking, theatrical and craft events, attending courses, festivals, archaeology, adventure, house hunting or business - whatever brings them to North Devon - all are guaranteed a warm friendly welcome.

Using their own knowledge and experience Gill and George can provide information for guests, supplementing the printed tourism leaflets provided. They can suggest a plan for the day to help guests navigate their way through the picturesque North Devon countryside and if required help with the loan of a map. With a little notice packed lunches can be prepared.
