Loxhore Cott emerges from the North Devon landscape as a collection of quiet stone dwellings that seem to draw their very substance from the surrounding earth. It lies 4.4 miles north-east of Barnstaple (from Barnstaple: bearing 44°T, OS grid SS 609 383), and is situated north-east of Shirwell village. The terrain here rises and falls with a rhythmic persistence, where the sharp, clean light of the West Country catches the slate roofs and granite lintels. Only a short distance to the north, the expansive grounds of Arlington Court offer a grand contrast to the modest, functional beauty of the local farmsteads. Centuries of agricultural toil have defined the boundaries of these small fields, leaving behind a patchwork that defies the encroaching wildness of the hedgerows. A sense of enduring solitude persists in Loxhore Cott, undisturbed by the hurried pace of modern life that bypasses these narrow, winding lanes. Nearby, the ancient earthworks of the motte called Castle Roborough stand as silent witnesses to a past that has long since softened into the green folds of the hillside. The atmosphere remains heavy with the scent of damp soil and woodsmoke, grounding the spirit in a place where the seasons dictate the only true calendar.
