About Forda

Forda, a quiet hamlet in West Devon, lies under skies that often hold a soft, diffused light, a characteristic of the South West's gentle climate. It lies 7.1 km south-west of Okehampton (from Okehampton: bearing 229°T, OS grid SX 532 907), and is situated north-west of Sourton village. The landscape around Forda is one of rolling fields, divided by ancient hedgerows that suggest a long, unbroken husbandry of the land, a quiet testament to generations of careful tending. The air here carries the faint, earthy scent of damp soil and distant livestock, a subtle perfume that speaks of an enduring agricultural heart. Though small, Forda possesses a certain stillness, a peacefulness that allows one to hear the whisper of the wind through the grass and the distant murmur of water, perhaps from the local streams that thread through the terrain. The very stones of the few scattered dwellings seem to absorb the quietude, offering a sense of permanence against the ever-shifting English weather.
