Bickerton, Devon Weather
About Bickerton, Devon
Bickerton commands a rugged prominence above the Devon coastline, where the salt-heavy air clarifies the edges of every stone wall and hawthorn hedge. It lies 4.5 miles east of Salcombe (from Salcombe: bearing 89°T, OS grid SX 813 389), and is situated west of Hallsands village. The land here slopes toward the English Channel in a series of disciplined, arable folds that seem to hold the sunlight long after the valleys have slipped into shade. Only a short walk away, the Hallsands-Beesands SSSI preserves a fragile maritime fringe where the geology shifts beneath the relentless pressure of the tide. This proximity to the sea defines the character of Bickerton, lending a stark, bracing quality to the winters that winter-wary travellers often misjudge. The soil is thin and recalcitrant, yet it supports a quiet endurance in the local flora that mirrors the stubborn resilience of the old farmsteads. Down toward the shore, the ruins of The London Inn stand as a hollowed reminder of a busier maritime past, now reclaimed by the encroaching gorse and brine. Bickerton remains a place of singular, exposed beauty, indifferent to the hurried pace of the world beyond its high, wind-swept ridges.
