Forder Devon Map

About Forder

Forder, a quiet hamlet in West Devon, breathes the soft, expansive air of Dartmoor. It lies 3.6 km north-west of Chagford (from Chagford: bearing 304°T, OS grid SX 670 896), and is situated south-south-east of Throwleigh village. The land around Forder falls away in gentle slopes, often catching the peculiar, luminous light that filters through the Devon skies, illuminating the ancient granite outcrops and the hardy gorse that clings to the earth. Its history is as understated as its present, a collection of dwellings that have long been part of the rural rhythm of this wilder corner of England. One might imagine the hushed conversations and purposeful movements of those who first sought a life here, their footprints now long absorbed by the mossy pathways. The very texture of the landscape, a blend of rough stone and resilient moorland grass, speaks of enduring simplicity.
