Drakeland Corner, Devon Weather
About Drakeland Corner, Devon
Drakeland Corner emerges from the quiet creases of the South Hams landscape, where the moisture of the Devon air clings to the hedgerows like a soft, grey bloom. It lies 3.3 miles north-north-east of Sherford (from Sherford: bearing 22°T, OS grid SX 571 588), and is situated north-west of Sparkwell village. The land here rises toward the rugged spine of the horizon, where the silent, moss-covered stones of the prehistoric barrow cemetery on Crownhill Down keep watch over the shifting light of the moors. Below these ancient earthworks, the water of Drakelands Trout Lake catches the sky, mirroring the unpredictable charcoal clouds that drift in from the Atlantic. The terrain is marked by a persistent, elemental stillness, interrupted only by the sudden, sharp cry of a bird or the rhythmic pulse of the wind against the rising slopes. To the south, the solid bulk of Hemerdon Ball anchors the view, its heavy silhouette grounding the expansive, open sky that defines this part of the county. In the quiet hours of the afternoon, the low sun illuminates the texture of the fields, turning the long grasses into a shimmering, pale gold. Drakeland Corner remains a place of singular character, where the weight of the deep past sits comfortably alongside the quiet, unadorned reality of the present day.
