Welcome to Martinhoe Cross

Martinhoe Cross is a historic landmark located in the village of Martinhoe in Devon, England. The cross is believed to date back to the 14th century and is made of local stone. It stands at the junction of two ancient tracks, one of which is the old coaching road from Barnstaple to Lynton. The cross is a Grade II listed structure and is considered to be an important part of the local heritage.

The Martinhoe Cross is a simple yet elegant structure that stands at a height of approximately 2.5 meters. It consists of a square base with chamfered corners, a tapered shaft, and a crosshead with equal arms. The crosshead is decorated with a small boss at the center and has a small hole at the top, which is believed to have been used for attaching a lantern or a flag. The cross is well-preserved and is a testament to the skill of the medieval craftsmen who created it.

The Martinhoe Cross is a popular destination for tourists and history enthusiasts who visit the area. It is located in a picturesque setting, surrounded by rolling hills and lush greenery. The cross is easily accessible by foot and is a great place to stop and take in the beauty of the countryside. The Martinhoe Cross is a reminder of the rich history and heritage of Devon and is a must-see for anyone visiting the area.
