About Blackmoor Gate

Blackmoor Gate serves as the western gateway to Exmoor National Park, positioned at an elevation of nearly 305 m (1000 ft) above sea level on the watershed between the rivers Yeo and Heddon. This historic crossing has long been a significant junction for tracks, including an ancient ridgeway leading from Exmoor to the coast at Mortehoe. The main road connecting Lynton and Barnstaple traverses this low point of the ridge, where the former Lynton & Barnstaple Railway once operated; its station is now home to 'The Old Station Inn,' a licensed restaurant. It sits within the North Devon district.

There are currently no active flood warnings for the Blackmoor Gate area, indicating a relatively low flood risk at present. This is a positive factor for both existing residents and those considering property purchases or new developments.
