Dousland Devon Map

About Dousland

Dousland surveys its Devonshire surroundings with a quiet grace. It lies 7.9 km south-east of Tavistock (from Tavistock: bearing 133°T, OS grid SX 537 689), and is situated south-south-east of Walkhampton village. The air here, particularly on a bright afternoon, often carries a scent of damp earth and pine needles from the nearby Burrator Reservoir, a vast, shimmering expanse that reflects the generous West Country sky. The houses of Dousland cluster with a friendly informality, their gardens spilling over with a profusion of blooms that seem to catch the light in a particularly pleasing way. Though small, Dousland possesses a certain sturdy character, a feeling of being well-rooted in the rich, dark soil of this corner of England. It is a place where the pace of life seems to accord with the slow drift of clouds overhead, a gentle unhurriedness that is quite its own.
