Kentisbury Ford rests in a fold of North Devon's verdant embrace, a quiet testament to the region's enduring charm. It lies 11.1 km north-north-east of Barnstaple (from Barnstaple: bearing 31°T, OS grid SS 618 427), and is situated south-east of Combe Martin village. Here, the land slopes gently towards the Bristol Channel, its air carrying the faint tang of salt and damp earth. The River Taw, a ribbon of silver, winds its way nearby, its murmuring presence a constant companion to the hamlet. Ancient hedgerows, thick with hawthorn and bramble, define the patchwork fields, hinting at centuries of careful cultivation. The quality of light in Kentisbury Ford can be remarkably soft, especially in the late afternoon, as it filters through the leaves of oak and ash, casting a gentle glow upon the stone cottages.
