About Ashford

Ashford rests in a landscape that often catches the late afternoon sun with a particular, almost hesitant, glow. It lies 3.3 km west-north-west of Barnstaple (from Barnstaple: bearing 303°T, OS grid SS 531 352), and is situated south-west of Prixford village. The fields surrounding Ashford are a patchwork of greens, often softened by a fine mist that seems to cling to the hollows long after the sun has risen, lending a quiet, introspective air to the land. There is a sense, in Ashford, of lives lived at a steady, unhurried pace, where the turning of the seasons dictates more than the ticking of a clock. The village itself, with its modest collection of houses, seems to absorb the gentle murmur of the nearby countryside, a place where the distant bleating of sheep might be the loudest sound for much of the day.
