Poltimore Devon Map

About Poltimore

Poltimore, a modest Devonshire hamlet, offers a quiet contemplation of rural England. It lies 6.4 km north-east of Exeter (from Exeter: bearing 46°T, OS grid SX 966 968), and is situated north-north-west of West Clyst village. The gentle slope of the land here, where the hedgerows knit themselves into the very contours of the earth, suggests a patient history, each field a carefully considered brushstroke. The ancient parish church, its flint and stone a sober testament to enduring faith, stands sentinel over the scattered dwellings, its spire catching the soft, diffused light that often bathes the East Devon landscape. One might imagine, on a still afternoon, the faint scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke mingling in the air, a subtle perfume of quietude. Poltimore's charm is not of grand pronouncements, but of the understated elegance of its enduring presence.
