It lies 6.7 km east of Okehampton (from Okehampton: bearing 95°T, OS grid SX 654 944), and is situated north-north-east of South Zeal village.

The River Taw, a silver thread in the verdant tapestry, whispers tales of its journey from the heights of the moor, flowing past the village with a gentle persistence that mirrors the enduring spirit of its inhabitants. Here, the light often falls with a soft, diffused glow, illuminating the ancient hedgerows and the quiet doorways of cottages that have stood for generations, a testament to a life lived in harmony with the land. South Tawton, with its deep roots in the soil of England, offers a glimpse into a timeless existence, a place where the echoes of the past resonate in the present.
