Report
The Blue Ball Inn is located in Countisbury on the old coaching route from Porlock to Lynmouth. Countisbury is thought to mean "camp on the headland" and comes from the impressive Iron Age fort on Wind Hill, about half a mile west of the Blue Ball Inn. This is believed to have been the site of a battle where Odda's Saxon army defeated Danish invaders led by Hubba in 878.
