Higher Coombe emerges from the rugged, undulating folds of the South Hams as a quiet witness to the enduring character of the Devon landscape. It lies 2.7 miles west-north-west of Buckfastleigh (from Buckfastleigh: bearing 296°T, OS grid SX 700 680), and is situated south-south-west of Holne village. This cluster of dwellings finds its breath within the vast, heather-strewn expanse of Dartmoor National Park, where the air carries a sharp, metallic clarity. To the north-west, the sheltered hollow of Michel Combe draws the morning mist into its depths, softening the harsh edges of the granite outcrops. The land here slopes away in ancient, rhythmic patterns, bearing the silent weight of history near the stone markers of Hawson Cross. Higher Coombe remains an intimate observer of the seasons, where the pale, thin sunlight of winter illuminates the gorse and stone with a fleeting, golden intensity. Life in Higher Coombe follows the slow, deliberate pace of the moor, indifferent to the hurried progress of the wider world.
