About Holwell

Holwell, a scattering of dwellings in Devon's Torridge district, holds a quiet charm. It lies 8.4 km west-south-west of Bideford (from Bideford: bearing 245°T, OS grid SS 377 231), and is situated west of Horns Cross village. The land here slopes gently towards the coast, carrying the faint, salty tang of the distant sea on the breeze that rustles through the hedgerows. Ancient stone walls, softened by moss and lichen, trace the boundaries of fields that have yielded their harvest for centuries, the soil a rich, warm brown under the often-grey English sky. In the diffused light of a late afternoon, the few cottages of Holwell seem to draw warmth from their own foundations, their slate roofs a muted grey against the deeper hues of the surrounding countryside. The air itself seems to hold a stillness, a peace that has settled like fine dust over the passing years.
