About Penstone

Penstone dreams quietly in the rolling Devonshire countryside, a collection of dwellings that seem to have emerged organically from the rich earth. It lies 5.7 km west of Crediton (from Crediton: bearing 269°T, OS grid SS 774 003), and is situated north-east of Colebrooke village. The air here carries a faint scent of damp soil and distant hedgerows, a fragrance that deepens when the sun breaks through the often-grey skies, illuminating the subtle greens and browns of the surrounding fields with a sudden, fleeting brilliance. The lanes that thread through Penstone are often bordered by ancient stone walls, their surfaces softened by moss and lichen, whispering of a time when passage was measured by the stride of a horse or the slow tread of a farmer’s boots. There is a stillness to Penstone, a sense that time itself moves with a gentler pulse, allowing one to notice the way light catches the dew on a spider's web or the low hum of bees in a summer meadow.
