Lower Slade Devon Map

About Lower Slade

Lower Slade breathes a quiet essence of Devon's coastal fringe, a gentle unfolding of land. It lies 1.5 km south-south-west of Ilfracombe (from Ilfracombe: bearing 193°T, OS grid SS 512 459), and is situated east of Lincombe village. The air here carries the faint, salty tang of the Bristol Channel, mingling with the earthy scent of damp soil after a passing shower, a scent that seems to bind the scattered dwellings together. Fields, often patched with the deep green of pasture and the lighter hue of arable crops, tumble towards the unseen sea, their boundaries softened by hedgerows thick with hawthorn and bramble. Even in the muted light of an overcast day, a certain luminescence seems to cling to the scattered cottages, as if catching and holding the memory of brighter sun. This is a place where the land itself seems to hold a quiet conversation with the sky, a conversation marked by the lowing of cattle and the distant cry of gulls.
