The West Country / Devon region
West Down is a pleasant village, set about four miles inland from the North Devon coast. The busy market town of Barnstaple is just nine miles away.
450 feet above sea level, the village sits in a bowl in the hills on the edge of one of the steep wooded valleys which slice through the hills of this part of North Devon.
It is the largest of the inland villages that support the scattered farms that have moulded the landscape.
Substantial farmhouses and smaller cottages are packed tightly around the 14th century Church. Many of the older buildings are of cob with slate roofs, and date back to the 17th century.
The farmhouses are now mostly private houses and their land has been sold off – the land now farmed from farms on the periphery of the village. At the west end of the village is the village square.
The village has a shop and post office and village pub called The Crown, just off the village square.
