Westleigh, a quiet corner of North Devon, holds its breath against the encroaching sea winds. It lies 2.2 km east-south-east of Northam (from Northam: bearing 101°T, OS grid SS 470 286), and is situated south of Instow village. The land here, where the Taw meets the Torridge, possesses a soft, yielding quality, a subtle greenness that seems to absorb the pale, diffused sunlight. Ancient hedgerows, thick with the scent of hawthorn and damp earth, trace the boundaries of fields that have known generations of quiet toil. A sense of enduring simplicity pervades Westleigh, a place where the echoes of past lives are carried on the breeze that rustles through the surrounding pastures.
