About St Giles in the Wood

St Giles in the Wood, a scattering of homes in Devon, holds its quietude with a certain grace. It lies 3.8 km east of Great Torrington (from Great Torrington: bearing 93°T, OS grid SS 533 188). The land here, a gentle swell of greens and browns, seems to absorb the afternoon sun, turning the air to a soft, honeyed light that settles on the ancient stone of the parish church. The murmur of the River Torridge, a distant presence, whispers through the surrounding woodlands, a constant reminder of the water's patient work. Life in St Giles in the Wood unfolds at a pace that allows for the slow unfolding of seasons, a rhythm dictated by the turning of the earth rather than the chime of clocks. The air often carries the scent of damp earth and the faint, sweet perfume of hedgerow blossoms, a natural perfume that needs no artifice.
