About Higher Slade

Higher Slade occupies a tranquil position where the rugged North Devon terrain softens into a folding landscape of hedgerows and hidden hollows. It lies 1.0 miles south-west of Ilfracombe (from Ilfracombe: bearing 215°T, OS grid SS 506 461), and is situated east-north-east of Lincombe village. The light here seems to catch the moisture rising from the nearby Lower Reservoir, casting a pale, pearlescent glow over the surrounding pastures in the early morning. To the east, the slopes of Furze Hill rise with a quiet permanence, acting as a sturdy sentinel over the verdant slopes that define the local topography. The waters of the West Wilder Brook trace a meandering path through the vicinity, their rhythmic movement providing a constant, low-frequency hum against the stillness of the fields. Higher Slade remains defined by this proximity to water and earth, where the drainage of the land has shaped a character both resilient and modest. Residents observe the seasonal shifts in the reservoirs, which reflect the changing moods of the Atlantic sky with remarkable clarity. This corner of the landscape endures as a quiet testament to the slow, deliberate work of nature, far removed from the bustle of the nearby coast.
