Widewell exhales a quiet charm, a collection of dwellings that seem to have grown organically from the South Hams landscape. It lies 8.0 km east-north-east of Salcombe (from Salcombe: bearing 66°T, OS grid SX 815 420), and is situated west of Torcross village. The air here carries the faint, sweet scent of damp earth and hedgerows, a perpetual reminder of the fertile land that shapes Widewell’s existence. Glimpses of the sea, a distant shimmer of sapphire, can be caught between the rolling hills, hinting at the proximity to the rugged coastline. The fields surrounding Widewell are a patchwork of greens and golds, regularly broken by the dark, sturdy lines of ancient stone walls.
