East Knowstone commands a high, exposed position where the wind sweeps across the open ridges of the North Devon district. It lies 5.4 miles south-west of Dulverton (from Dulverton: bearing 236°T, OS grid SS 840 231), and is situated south-west of East Anstey village. The landscape here breathes with the rough, unyielding character of the Hare's Down, Knowstone & Rackenford Moors SSSI, a vast expanse that dictates the rhythm of the seasons. Ancient earthworks mark the high ground nearby, including the Saucer Barrow 100M South West Of Knowstone Moor Cross, which keeps a silent watch over the grazing livestock. East Knowstone serves as a quiet witness to a terrain defined by peat and gorse, where the light shifts rapidly across the horizon. The soil here is thin and demanding, shaped by generations of farming that have left the land rugged and scrubbed clean by the elements. Travelers passing through find that the horizon dominates the view, pulling the eye toward the distant, rolling folds of the countryside. This remote stretch of Devon offers little shelter from the weather, demanding a sturdy resilience from all who dwell upon its slopes.
