5 things to do in South Molton this summer ☀️

Sunny days call for a proper South Molton adventure. Here's our pick of five ways to spend them:

🌳 Walk the South Molton Community Woodland – 23.6 acres of peaceful trails right in the heart of town, perfect for a leisurely stroll or a proper stretch of the legs.

🧺 Browse the Pannier Market – head down Thursday or Saturday morning for fresh local produce, plants and a few unexpected treasures.

🏛️ Pop into the Guildhall Museum – free entry and a lovely way to discover the town's history, perfect for a rainy hour or a break from the sun.

🧗 Get your adrenaline fix at Rock and Rapid Adventures – climbing, abseiling and more just outside town, great for the thrill-seekers in the family.

🥗 Stop by Zest for lunch or a treat – whether it's a light lunch in the sun or something sweet to cool down with, we'll be here all summer ready to welcome you in.
