About West Leigh

West Leigh rests in the gentle fold of Mid Devon's rolling countryside, a scattering of homes where the quietude is as palpable as the dew on morning grass. It lies 4.5 km north-north-east of North Tawton (from North Tawton: bearing 30°T, OS grid SS 687 055), and is situated south-south-west of Coldridge village. The lanes that thread through West Leigh often seem to mirror the meandering streams that murmur their secrets nearby, their banks a riot of hawthorn and bramble. Here, the air carries the faint, earthy perfume of damp soil and distant livestock, a scent that has been the constant companion of generations. Sunlight, when it breaks through the frequent cloud cover, possesses a softened, diffused quality, lending a pearlescent sheen to the slate roofs and the sturdy stone walls that define the hamlet's modest boundaries. The land itself, largely given over to pasture and arable fields, breathes a slow, steady rhythm, punctuated only by the calls of birds and the infrequent rumble of a passing tractor.
