Scorriton, Devon Weather
About Scorriton, Devon
Scorriton gathers the grey-stone weight of its cottages against the rising tide of the moor, where the air tastes perpetually of damp peat and granite. It lies 2.6 miles west-north-west of Buckfastleigh (from Buckfastleigh: bearing 303°T, OS grid SX 704 684), and is situated south of Holne village. Scorriton rests firmly within the protected expanse of Dartmoor National Park, acting as a quiet gateway to the high, wind-scoured ridges that loom to the west. To the east, the weathered stone of Hawson Cross stands as a silent sentinel, watching over the transition from enclosed pastures to the wilder reaches of the plateau. The landscape falls away toward the west into the deep, fern-choked hollow of Michel Combe, where the light shifts rapidly between sharp clarity and the bruised shadows of passing clouds. Autumnal gales often scour the lanes here, stripping the trees of their colour and leaving the stark architecture of the countryside exposed to the elements. Life in Scorriton maintains a respectful distance from the frantic pace of the modern world, anchored instead by the heavy, enduring silence of the surrounding tors.
