Quintessential 17th Century, Grade II Listed Traditional Village Inn Nestled on the Edge of Exmoor National Park.
The London Inn is situated in the beautiful village of Molland on the southern edge of Exmoor. The village is situated over 650 feet up and commands panoramic views over Exmoor National Park. A medieval church stands on the hill behind the London Inn overlooking the village. The church is unusual in that it has “escaped” restoration by the Victorians and is now a well-known landmark, drawing visitors’ year round. The Doomsday Survey of 1086 identifies 2 separate Manors at Molland; Molland Bottreaux and Molland Champson, each under separate ownership. By 1700 the Manors had merged and shortly after the Throckmorton family began their long tenure of Molland. To this day the London Inn is owned by the Molland Estate. The Molland of today retains the essential qualities of village life. The London Inn was as the name suggests, on the coaching route to London, today it is the preserve of villagers and visitors alike.
