About Riddlecombe

Riddlecombe emerges from the rolling Devon terrain as a collection of quiet stone dwellings defined by the slow, seasonal pulse of the surrounding farmland. It lies 7.7 miles east-south-east of Great Torrington (from Great Torrington: bearing 113°T, OS grid SS 609 139), and is situated west of Ashreigney village. The landscape here is defined by a deep, damp stillness, where the low sun catches the moisture rising from the nearby Mully Brook. Ancient silence clings to the earth, particularly where the prehistoric bowl barrows mark the horizon like subtle, man-made swells in the soil. Riddlecombe maintains an austere character, far removed from the bustle of the coast, favouring the honest toil of its pastoral roots. The air often carries a sharp, metallic clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of every hedgerow and field boundary. Beyond the immediate cluster of houses, the land rises toward the distant, brooding silhouette of Hound Hill, which watches over the comings and goings of the inhabitants. Life in Riddlecombe follows the turning of the light, shifting from the soft greys of dawn to the deep, resonant indigo of the Devon night.
