About Stowford

Stowford, a quiet corner of East Devon, offers a gentle embrace to those who find their way there. It lies 2.3 km north-north-west of Sidmouth (from Sidmouth: bearing 330°T, OS grid SY 114 897), and is situated east-south-east of Bowd village. The landscape surrounding Stowford unfolds with the soft, rolling contours characteristic of the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where fields, stitched with hedgerows, catch the dappled sunlight in a way that feels almost like a whispered secret. The very air here seems to hold a certain stillness, a quiet dignity that speaks of generations who have tended this fertile ground, their lives as much a part of the soil as the ancient oaks that stand sentinel. The lanes that wind through Stowford are often bordered by a profusion of wildflowers in the spring and summer, a vibrant, fleeting beauty that mirrors the ephemeral nature of passing time. Even the distant bleating of sheep seems to add a pastoral melody to the profound quietude that defines this hamlet.
