Longcross Devon Map

About Longcross

Longcross hums with a quiet persistence, a small constellation of dwellings gathered under the wide Devon sky. It lies 6.7 km north-west of Tavistock (from Tavistock: bearing 315°T, OS grid SX 435 793), and is situated south of Chillaton village. The land here slopes gently, a soft green velvet unfurling towards the distant tors, and the air often carries the faint, sweet scent of damp earth and wild hedgerows. Farms, some with foundations stretching back through the centuries, punctuate the landscape, their stone walls a testament to the enduring labour of those who have worked this soil. The hamlet itself, though modest, possesses a certain understated charm, with cottages that seem to have grown organically from the very ground, their slate roofs catching the shifting light. The occasional rumble of a tractor heading to or from the fields is the most common sound, a gentle punctuation to the prevailing rural quiet.
