To the East of Combe Martin on the border of Exmoor is the rural parish of Kentisbury and the small village of Parracombe. Both lie in beautiful surroundings and can be reached from the A399 out of Combe Martin.

The Parish Church lies centrally. There is also a school, Post Office, general store, garage, the Old Station Inn and various accommodation providers. The nearby village of Parracombe is located between Combe Martin and Lynton and is just inside the borders of Exmoor.

Many other wonderful spots can be reached by car or on foot. To the West, the secluded beaches at Sandy Cove and Broad Sands and Watermouth Cove.
