About Higher Slade

Higher Slade, a quiet hamlet in North Devon, possesses a subtle charm. It lies 1.6 km south-west of Ilfracombe (from Ilfracombe: bearing 215°T, OS grid SS 506 461), and is situated east-north-east of Lincombe village.

Small lanes, bordered by hedgerows thick with hawthorn and wild roses, wind through the fields, hinting at a long agricultural past. There is a sense here of the land being worked with a careful, enduring hand, the fields yielding their bounty under an expansive sky. The quietude of Higher Slade allows for a deep appreciation of the natural world that enfolds it.
