About Highampton

Highampton, a village in the West Devon district, holds its own quiet dignity against the sweeping Devonshire landscape. It lies 13.8 km north-west of Okehampton (from Okehampton: bearing 310°T, OS grid SS 483 042), and is situated east-south-east of Black Torrington village. The village green, a generous expanse of emerald, often catches the low, honeyed light of late afternoon, lending a gentle warmth to the surrounding stone cottages. Its church, St. Andrew's, stands as a sentinel, its weathered tower a familiar landmark against the vast, often cloud-brushed sky that characterizes this part of England. The surrounding fields, a patchwork of greens and golds, speak of a long agricultural heritage, the land yielding its bounty through the seasons with a steadfast, unspoken promise. Highampton, in its unassuming way, offers a sense of enduring peace, a place where the world's clamour seems to recede.
