About Cottwood

Cottwood rests gently in the Devonshire landscape, a small collection of dwellings where the earth's quiet work continues. It lies 12.4 km east-south-east of Great Torrington (from Great Torrington: bearing 111°T, OS grid SS 610 143), and is situated north-north-east of Riddlecombe village. The surrounding fields, often a rich patchwork of greens and golds under the broad Devon sky, suggest a long history of cultivation, a steady rhythm of sowing and reaping that has shaped the very character of Cottwood. Here, the air carries the faint, earthy scent of damp soil after rain, a subtle perfume that speaks of the land's enduring fertility. The lanes that thread through Cottwood are often bordered by ancient hedgerows, thick with hawthorn and bramble, offering a sense of quiet enclosure and timeless continuity.
