RACKENFORD
NORTH DEVON
WELCOME TO
RACKENFORD
Rackenford is a large North Devon parish, covering 4000 acres of high ground below Exmoor and between Tiverton (8 miles) and South Molton (10 miles). About 300 of the total population of 400 live in the small village of Rackenford itself and the very small hamlet of Creacombe. Both are ringed by farms and agriculture is still the largest single source of employment.
Unlike so many small villages, we still have our school, our village shop, a social club and our pub The Stag Inn (currently closed) which is claimed to be the oldest pub in Devon.
We also maintain a strong tradition of village events. You can discover the Easter Egg hunt on Rackenford Common, the November 5th bonfire, the Gardening Club's spring and autumn shows to name a few. A truly great village with a vibrant community.
