Ashwater rests quietly in Devon's Torridge district, a place where the land seems to hold its breath. It lies 9.6 km south-south-east of Holsworthy (from Holsworthy: bearing 152°T, OS grid SX 385 952), and is situated west of Germansweek village. The fields surrounding Ashwater are a patchwork of greens and golds, often softened by a pearly, low-hanging mist that clings to the hedgerows like fine lace. The village church, a sturdy stone building, watches over a scattering of cottages, their roofs a mosaic of weathered slate and terracotta tiles. A small stream, the River Ash, meanders through the landscape, its waters catching the dappled sunlight that filters through the mature oak and ash trees, giving the parish its name. Life here moves at a pace dictated by the seasons, the scent of damp earth and woodsmoke often hanging in the air after a gentle rain.
