About

Bow, Lapford and Yeoford sit within Mid Devon’s patchwork of pasture and arable land, linked by narrow lanes and hedgerows. Each village retains a parish church, a village hall and at least one pub that acts as a meeting place for local groups and events. Farmsteads and cider orchards punctuate the landscape, and lanes open onto wide views of fields and hedgerow trees. Local activity centres on agriculture and community organisations that run seasonal shows, produce markets and school-based events.

Transport links are modest but direct: Lapford and Yeoford are served by stations on the Exeter–Barnstaple Tarka Line, providing regular trains to Crediton and Exeter. Bow lies a short distance from the line and is approached by narrow country roads and stone bridges over small streams. The area is best experienced on foot or by rail, where village signs, waymarked footpaths and isolated farm tracks reveal a long history of rural settlement and land use visible in field patterns and surviving boundary hedges.
