Countisbury
St John the Evangelist Church
Countisbury[1] is a hamlet on Exmoor in Devon, England.[2] It is roughly two miles east of Lynmouth along the A39. It has a church[3] and pub.[4] The National Trust owns the other buildings.[5][6]
Since 2012, Countisbury has formed part of the civil parish of Brendon and Countisbury, having previously been a civil parish in its own right.[7]
Scholars [8][9] now believe the Iron Age promontory fort of Wind Hill on Countisbury Hill was the site of the Battle of Cynuit in 878.
