resort with a sheltered cove on the outskirts of the Exmoor National
Park. The Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park has an animated life
size T-Rex, a dinosaur museum and a host of animals and birds. Their

Combe Martin is a good place to relax and provides walkers with plenty
of scope for coastal and countryside rambles. Combe Martin's claim to
fame is that is reputed to have the longest main street of any village
in England. It covers a distance of over two miles as it winds up the
valley or combe from which it gets its name.
The Pack of Cards in
Combe Martin is one of its oldest buildings and used to be the Kings
Arms until 1933. Built around 1700 by George Ley, it is unusual in that
it had fifty two windows, covering four floors and with thirteen doors
for the four suits of a pack of cards - George Ley purchased the land
and built the property from his winnings from gambling.
