The immediate area

Beden is part of a village, but not an ordinary country village; with only 18 houses in total, it is spread out over 2 and a half miles. Most of its houses are tucked away down drives or behind old granite walls and you’d be forgiven for not realising you were in a village at all, as you drive through it. The picturesque church of St Mary’s is the central meeting point. First recorded in the 14th century and set on a beautiful hillside,  the Mission Community still hold a regular Sunday service, every second week.  

Here at Beden, preserving the nature on our part of land, and trying to respect the peace and quiet of the village is high on our agenda. We ask everyone to familiarise themselves with our boundaries, so as not to unwittingly wander on to neighbouring land, keep dogs on leads and drive very slowly through the village.
