Stony Cross Devon Map

About Stony Cross

Stony Cross, a quiet hamlet within Devon's Torridge district, breathes the muted light of the South West. It lies 5.9 km east of Bideford (from Bideford: bearing 96°T, OS grid SS 513 256), and is situated south-south-west of Lower Lovacott village. The surrounding landscape, a gentle swell of farmland, often carries the scent of damp earth and ripening hedgerows, a subtle perfume that clings to the air. The houses themselves, a modest collection of stone and brick, seem to hunker against the prevailing winds, their slate roofs catching the low afternoon sun. There is a sense here of lives lived in quiet continuity, where the turn of the seasons dictates the rhythm of days, and the distant bleating of sheep is the loudest sound. Stony Cross feels like a place where the past is not so much remembered as it is simply present, in the weathered stone of a garden wall or the deep, undisturbed quiet.
