Scorriton Devon Map

About Scorriton

Scorriton, a quiet gathering of homes, breathes the air of the South Hams. It lies 4.2 km west-north-west of Buckfastleigh (from Buckfastleigh: bearing 303°T, OS grid SX 704 684), and is situated south of Holne village. The land here unfurls with a gentle, persistent green, the kind that suggests ancient husbandry, where sunlight often falls in soft, diffused sheets, painting the hedgerows with a muted luminescence. A small, unpretentious church, its stone weathered by countless seasons, stands as a quiet sentinel, its spire a slender finger pointing towards the wide Devon sky. The very atmosphere of Scorriton seems to hold a certain stillness, a palpable sense of peace that settles upon the lanes and the modest dwellings, as if the earth itself exhales a contented sigh. Occasionally, the distant bleating of sheep drifts on the breeze, a sound that has echoed across these fields for generations, weaving a timeless thread through the hamlet's narrative.
