About Mainstone

Mainstone occupies a quiet rise of land where the urban fringe of Plymouth softens into the verdant folds of the Devon countryside. It lies 3.8 miles north-north-west of Sherford (from Sherford: bearing 328°T, OS grid SX 519 592), and is situated south of Bickleigh village. The light here often catches the jagged edges of the nearby Bickleigh Vale, where the air grows heavy with the scent of damp earth and moss-covered stone. To the east, the historic remnants of the Boringdon Park estate, including its weathered triumphal arch and the ghosts of a medieval fishpond, anchor the landscape in a long-forgotten past. Mainstone retains a distinct character, defined by its proximity to the rugged, untamed canopy of Cann Wood rather than the bustle of the nearby metropolis. Residents often walk the lanes where the shadow of the woods stretches long and cold, even in the height of a summer afternoon. The geology of the vicinity hints at a deeper, industrial history, with the remnants of ancient lead mines waiting silently beneath the surface of the green. Such quietude persists because the modern world seems to falter at the threshold of these woods, leaving Mainstone to observe the slow turning of the seasons in relative isolation.
