Brendon is a tiny hamlet tucked into the dramatic East Lyn valley, deep in the heart of Exmoor National Park, just 3 miles inland from the coastal village of Lynmouth. This is one of the most peaceful and secluded corners of Exmoor. The hamlet sits beside the East Lyn River, surrounded by steep, densely wooded valleys and open moorland above. Brendon has been a settlement since medieval times, and its quiet lanes, stone bridges, and ancient church give it a timeless character. The area is renowned for its natural beauty, its red deer herds, and some of the finest river and moorland walking on Exmoor. Village and Nearby Services Brendon itself has no shops or services.
