The Foxhunters Inn

The Foxhunters Inn, West Down, Devon

A mock-Tudor pub on the main road between Barnstaple and Ilfracombe. From the look of the site it must have suffered from being on the other side of the road from its car park. It has been closed since 2012 and, while not boarded up, is now very much overgrown. From this news report, the business appears to have been transferred to the Woodpacker Café across the road, and planning permission has been granted for conversion to three dwellings.
