West Buckland, a quiet village in North Devon, breathes the soft air of England's South West. It lies 7.9 km north-west of South Molton (from South Molton: bearing 312°T, OS grid SS 657 312), and is situated east-north-east of Swimbridge village. The rolling countryside surrounding West Buckland, a patchwork of green fields stitched with hedgerows, hints at centuries of husbandry, where the light often falls in long, golden shafts across the land, even on a blustery day. The heart of West Buckland is often found near its modest church, a solid stone presence against the ever-changing Devon sky. Life here moves at a pace that allows one to notice the subtle shift of seasons and the quiet industry of its agricultural hinterland. Though not a bustling hub, West Buckland offers a tranquil corner of England, where the distant bleating of sheep can carry on the breeze.
