Bickleigh Devon Map

About Bickleigh

Bickleigh, a Devonshire jewel, rests where the land gently folds. It lies 8.8 km north-north-west of Sherford (from Sherford: bearing 339°T, OS grid SX 520 622), and is situated west-south-west of Shaugh Prior village. Here, the Dartmoor National Park breathes its wild air, its granite tors a distant, watchful presence on the horizon. The River Dart, a silver ribbon, meanders through the surrounding countryside, its waters reflecting the ever-changing Devon sky, a sky that often holds a particular, soft luminescence in the late afternoon. Bickleigh itself, a small cluster of stone dwellings, feels as though it has grown organically from the very earth, its ancient church tower a quiet sentinel against the passage of years. The air here carries the scent of damp earth and wild hedgerows, a subtle perfume that speaks of a connection to the land unbroken for centuries.
