Higher Tale exhales a quiet charm, a collection of dwellings that seem to have grown organically from the surrounding East Devon countryside. It lies 7.0 km north-north-west of Ottery St Mary (from Ottery St Mary: bearing 331°T, OS grid ST 065 016), and is situated south-east of Plymtree village. The lanes that meander towards Higher Tale are often canopied by ancient hedgerows, their leafy embrace filtering the sunlight into dappled patterns upon the tarmac, a gentle reminder of the enduring pastoral rhythm. Here, the land slopes with a subtle grace, its contours shaped by centuries of cultivation and the slow, deliberate work of water. One might imagine the hushed conversations of generations past echoing in the very air, a subtle resonance beneath the chirping of birds. The buildings themselves, a modest scattering of stone and render, possess a pleasing solidity, their roofs catching the afternoon sun with a warm, earthy glow.
