Shirwell Cross Devon Map

About Shirwell Cross

Shirwell Cross endures as a point of quiet convergence in the North Devon landscape. It lies 4.6 km north-east of Barnstaple (from Barnstaple: bearing 38°T, OS grid SS 588 368), and is situated west-south-west of Shirwell village. The air here often carries the faint, earthy perfume of cultivated fields, a testament to the enduring agricultural heart of this locale. The stone of local cottages, weathered by countless seasons, seems to absorb the pale, diffused light that filters through the often-overcast Devon skies. A sense of gentle continuity pervades Shirwell Cross, an unhurried existence marked by the turning of the agricultural year rather than the clamour of industry. The surrounding hills, cloaked in hues of green and brown depending on the season, provide a constant, comforting backdrop to the lives lived within Shirwell Cross.
