Parkham Devon Map

About Parkham

Parkham shelters a quiet dignity, a place where the Devonshire air carries the scent of damp earth and distant sea. It lies 8.3 km south-west of Bideford (from Bideford: bearing 231°T, OS grid SS 388 213), and is situated south-south-east of Horns Cross village. The ancient parish church, St. James, stands as a sentinel of stone, its tower a landmark against the often-grey skies, a silent witness to centuries of lives lived out in the green folds of this land. The surrounding countryside, a patchwork of fields stitched together by hedgerows, slopes gently towards the coast, hinting at the vastness of the Atlantic beyond. Here, the rhythm of the seasons dictates the life of the soil, an ancient pact between man and earth that continues to sustain Parkham.
