Challacombe

Challacombe is a small village on the edge of the Exmoor National Park, in Devon, England.

The village has a small general shop/Post Office and a single pub, the Black Venus.

Believed to be the only inn in England bearing this name, The Black Venus Inn is an old stone-built pub, a historic 16th century building with low ceiling and original beams.

It is described as a "white-washed house with rendered walls and Georgian framed windows on the south slope of Little Hangman Hill and looks like an archetypal Devon farmhouse rather than a medieval manor house.

The nearby Shoulsbury castle is an Iron Age hill fort.
