About

The Lifton, Lamerton & Bridestowe area occupies a rural expanse of West Devon, characterised by rolling farmland and wooded river valleys. The landscape is shaped by the upper reaches of the River Tamar and its tributaries, which form a natural boundary. Settlements are small and scattered, centred around historic villages with granite churches and traditional agricultural buildings. The area's economy has long been connected to the land, with a focus on livestock and dairy farming.

A notable feature is the presence of the Dartmoor Railway line, which passes through Bridestowe, linking the area to Okehampton. The western fringes touch upon the open moorland of Dartmoor National Park, bringing a change in terrain to rough grazing and granite outcrops. This is a working landscape where quiet lanes connect isolated farms, and community life revolves around the local villages and their practical amenities.
