Rain-washed lanes converge upon the quiet crossroads that define Stony Cross. It lies 3.7 miles east of Bideford (from Bideford: bearing 96°T, OS grid SS 513 256), and is situated south-south-west of Lower Lovacott village. The landscape here is defined by high, open ridges that catch the salt-tinctured winds blowing in from the Atlantic. To the west, the landscape holds the silent, earth-bound memory of an Iron Age Enclosure and Roman Marching Camp, where the grass grows thick over the ghosts of ancient fortifications. Stony Cross occupies a position of subtle elevation, granting it a wide, grey-blue horizon that shifts with the restless moods of the Devon sky. Below these slopes, the gentle, reed-fringed waters of the Gammaton Reservoirs mirror the passing clouds in a display of liquid stillness. The soil here remains heavy and industrious, supporting the patchwork of fields that have dictated the local pace of life for generations. Even in the height of summer, the air retains a sharp, bracing clarity that seems to sharpen the outlines of the distant hedgerows.
