Lake Devon Map

About Lake

Lake’s modest presence is felt most keenly in the quiet way it settles into its surroundings. It lies 7.9 km south-east of Tavistock (from Tavistock: bearing 140°T, OS grid SX 531 682), and is situated south-west of Dousland village. The air here often carries the damp scent of Dartmoor, a vastness that looms not far beyond, its granite outcrops catching the afternoon light with a stoic indifference. Fields, neatly parcelled, give way to the rougher, heather-clad slopes, and the land itself seems to absorb sound, leaving a stillness that allows for contemplation of the passing clouds. A scattering of cottages, their stone walls weathered to a soft grey, speaks of generations who have simply lived their lives here, undisturbed by grander narratives.
