West Down Devon Map

About West Down

The quiet heart of West Down beats in its unassuming presence within the rolling North Devon landscape. It lies 5.3 km south of Ilfracombe (from Ilfracombe: bearing 180°T, OS grid SS 514 420), and is situated south-south-east of Lincombe village. Here, the air often carries the scent of damp earth and distant hedgerows, a subtle perfume that speaks of uninterrupted fields stretching towards the horizon. The stone of its older cottages, weathered by countless seasons, seems to absorb the soft, diffused light that filters through the frequent cloud cover, lending a gentle warmth to the very fabric of West Down. Though small, the village possesses a quiet dignity, a sense of enduring simplicity that has been its hallmark for generations, its lanes often echoing with the distant bleating of sheep.
