Thorndon Cross Devon Map

About Thorndon Cross

Thorndon Cross breathes the wild air of West Devon, a place where the land rises towards Dartmoor's ancient heart. It lies 6.0 km west-south-west of Okehampton (from Okehampton: bearing 254°T, OS grid SX 529 936), and is situated north-north-west of Sourton village. The hamlet itself, a scattering of dwellings and fields, feels as though it has been gently pressed into the contours of the landscape, the stone of its older buildings warmed by a light that often carries the soft, diffused glow of the moorland sky. The surrounding fields, a patchwork of greens and browns, speak of generations of husbandry, their boundaries defined by hedgerows that have witnessed centuries unfold. Here, the silence is broken only by the bleating of sheep or the distant cry of a bird of prey, a sound that seems to echo the vast, untamed spirit of the region.
