Channel: semw52
Date: 2018-10-12

Allerford  is one of the few villages totally owned by the National Trust as pointed out to me from a villager who also explained that  only a few housing association homes are not owned by the NT but all the other properties , even the very quaint and old cottages and posh looking homes are rented to people --not allowed to be bought...the manor  and barn were being restored at a cost of about  a million pounds at the moment----Allerford literally has a Ford running through it and  an ancient stone  arched bridge is such a centre-piece for the village--the classic stone bridge---beautiful--I take lots of photos including of a person on a horse passing thru the ford by the bridge. The village is picturesque  and has a rural museum and tea rooms in the old post office---Allerford is also a junction point for walkers with various routes converging here on either side of the main road---Dunkery Beacon area one side and Bossington Hill and Selworthy Beacon the other side......
