Henford Devon Map

About Henford

Henford lies quietly in the rolling countryside of Devon, a place where the earth seems to hold its breath under a vast, often grey, sky. It lies 9.5 km south-south-east of Holsworthy (from Holsworthy: bearing 162°T, OS grid SX 369 947), and is situated west-south-west of Ashwater village. The narrow lanes that thread through Henford are bordered by ancient hedgerows, their tangled branches offering a rough, organic architecture against the softer greens of the fields. Here, the air often carries the damp, earthy scent of churned soil and the distant bleating of sheep, a constant reminder of the agricultural heart that beats in this corner of the Torridge district. The light, when it breaks through the clouds, has a peculiar clarity, illuminating the rough stone walls of the few scattered dwellings with a pale, transient glow.
