Molton, a market town, market day is Thursday.
South Molton is a
small town, with some interesting buildings, the town was
once a thriving wool town until the mid 19th century.
It was a coach stop
on the way to Barnstaple and near the copper and iron mines
of the nearby village of North Molton.
Small shopping centre
with lots of pubs, antique shops and art galleries. Busy on
market day, the large car park shows how busy it gets on market
day. Bypassed now by the North Devon Link Road.
Small museum behind
the 18th century Guildhall has local exhibits and holds exhibitions.
Tourist Information centre. Worth a quick stroll round.
