About Buckland in the Moor

Buckland in the Moor breathes the wild spirit of Dartmoor, a scattering of stone and slate under an expansive sky. It lies 4.8 km north-west of Ashburton (from Ashburton: bearing 311°T, OS grid SX 720 731), and is situated north-north-east of Holne village. The hamlet's very stones seem to absorb the vast, open sweep of the moorland, their rough surfaces catching the shifting light that paints the heather and granite tors in hues of purple and grey. A quiet dignity emanates from Buckland in the Moor, a sense of enduring presence that has weathered centuries of wind and rain, much like the hardy sheep that graze the surrounding slopes. The air here carries a clarity, a crispness that speaks of distance and elevation, a refreshing balm to the senses. While history whispers through its ancient lanes, Buckland in the Moor remains resolutely a place of the present, its charm understated and profound, a true haven for those who appreciate the stark beauty of the Devon uplands.
