South Molton

South Molton is a small historic market town in North Devon, Devon, England, known for its long market tradition and a compact centre of Georgian and Victorian streets and buildings. The town grew up around the medieval market and the River Mole, and its pannier market and market hall remain focal points for independents, antiques and weekly stalls that reflect the agricultural hinterland.

Geographically it sits close to the southern fringe of Exmoor National Park, so it works as a quiet gateway for walkers and visitors drawn to moorland scenery; the local economy mixes farming, tourism and small-scale retail and crafts. Socially the town retains a strong community feel with regular events, local food producers and a slow-paced, traditional character that many people value.
