About Staple Cross

Staple Cross lies in a quiet corner of Mid Devon, a place where the land settles into gentle folds. It lies 9.0 km south-south-west of Wiveliscombe (from Wiveliscombe: bearing 211°T, OS grid ST 032 201), and is situated south-west of Ashbrittle village. The lanes that lead to Staple Cross are often bordered by hedgerows, thick with the scent of hawthorn in spring and the rustle of unseen creatures in autumn. Here, the fields stretch out under a wide sky, their colours shifting with the sun's slow passage, from the deep greens of pasture to the burnished golds of ripening crops. The houses of Staple Cross, often built of local stone, seem to wear the landscape as a cloak, their roofs softened by moss and the passage of years. A quietude pervades Staple Cross, a stillness that allows the murmur of a distant stream or the call of a curlew to be heard. The air itself feels clean, carrying the faint earthy perfume of the surrounding countryside.
