Westcott Devon Map

About Westcott

Westcott, a quiet hamlet in Devon, presents a picture of enduring rural charm. It lies 3.7 km east-north-east of Moretonhampstead (from Moretonhampstead: bearing 74°T, OS grid SX 789 870), and is situated west-north-west of Bridford village. Here, the lanes, often bordered by ancient hedgerows that suggest a long agricultural past, wind through a landscape that gently falls away towards the River Teign. The air itself seems to carry the faint, sweet scent of damp earth and wild gorse, particularly after a soft rain, a subtle perfume that speaks of the moorland's proximity. The light here, when it breaks through the often-brooding Devon skies, possesses a peculiar clarity, illuminating the stone walls of scattered farmsteads and lending a warm glow to the surrounding fields. Westcott, though small, holds within its unassuming presence the quiet dignity of centuries of cultivation and quiet habitation.
