Iron Mill Stream and Surrounding Area, Oakford.
Description: The iron mill stream is located in an area of special natural significance and importance to the parish. The north bank is within Oakford Parish, while the south bank is within Stoodleigh Parish. The valley of the Iron Mill Stream (a tributary of the Exe) is spectacularly deep and wooded, almost gorge-like in places. The combination of steep slopes, thick woodland, and sights and sounds of the Iron Mill Stream create an atmosphere which is quiet, secretive, remote and isolated.
