About Portington

Portington remains a quiet cluster of dwellings defined by the shifting, pearlescent light that rolls in from the Atlantic across the Devon hills. It lies 3.8 miles west-north-west of Tavistock (from Tavistock: bearing 287°T, OS grid SX 423 764), and is situated west-south-west of Lamerton village. The land surrounding Portington slopes toward the Tamar Valley, where the air often carries the damp, metallic scent of a landscape shaped by centuries of mineral extraction. To the south, the weathered stone remnants of the historic Wheal Maria stand as silent witnesses to the region’s intense industrial ambition. A short distance further, the dense canopy of Blanchdown Wood offers a verdant counterpoint to the stark, earth-bound scars left by the former mining operations. The horizon here possesses a sharp clarity, revealing the rugged spine of the countryside where ancient tracks follow the natural contours of the rising ground. Life in Portington moves with the seasons, governed by the slow growth of the hedgerows and the persistent, wandering winds that scour the high fields. Every stone and boundary hedge serves as a reminder of a working terrain that demands both patience and respect from those who dwell within its borders.
