Benton Devon Map

About Benton

Benton, a quiet hamlet, breathes the gentle air of North Devon. It lies 10.2 km east-north-east of Barnstaple (from Barnstaple: bearing 72°T, OS grid SS 657 362), and is situated south-east of Bratton Fleming village. The land here rolls with a subtle grace, the fields often delineated by ancient hedgerows that seem to hold the whisper of generations. Sunlight, when it breaks through, falls with a peculiar softness on the stone walls and thatched roofs, imbuing Benton with a timeless quality. The nearby Exmoor National Park, though not directly encompassing Benton, casts a vast, wild presence over the surrounding landscape, its rugged beauty a constant counterpoint to the cultivated fields. The quietude of Benton is its own kind of sound, a deep hum beneath the chirping of birds and the distant bleating of sheep, a testament to a life lived in careful observance of the seasons.
