Ash Cross Devon Map

About Ash Cross

Ash Cross breathes a quiet, enduring presence in the Devonshire countryside. It lies 11.2 km south-south-east of Great Torrington (from Great Torrington: bearing 167°T, OS grid SS 518 081), and is situated south-south-east of Petrockstowe village. The lanes here, often canopied by ancient hedgerows, carry the soft, persistent murmur of the wind through the surrounding fields, a sound that has attended generations of quiet lives. The very air seems to hold a certain luminosity, particularly in the late afternoon, as the low sun gilds the distant slopes of rolling farmland, lending a gentle warmth to the scattered cottages and farmsteads that comprise Ash Cross. There is a sense here of the land being worked, of a continuity with the agricultural rhythms that have shaped this part of England for centuries, with the distant bleating of sheep a faint counterpoint to the chirping of unseen birds.
