Location Information
The area of Blackhorse used to be on the original main A30 road from Exeter to Honiton but was bypassed in the 1990s and a another bypass to the east of the village now links the new A30 to Cranbrook and the surrounding developments. The Black Horse, a traditional family pub/restaurant, is just down the road.
