Bradworthy
Bradworthy is very much a living village. It is the kind of village I would like to live in, as a person who doesn`t drive a car, and so I am especially sorry that it has become famous for being the first village in Devon to have giant turbines forced upon it.
Bradworthy is about seven miles from Holsworthy and 14 miles from Bideford. It is also close to the North Cornish coast.
It is famous for its Square, which is the largest village square in the West of England, and it has shops, a pub, a church and a doctor.
You can read more about the village on a very good website called
