About Shortacombe
Shortacombe, a quiet cluster of dwellings, exhales the scent of damp earth and distant peat fires. It lies 10.5 km south-west of Okehampton (from Okehampton: bearing 215°T, OS grid SX 525 867), and is situated north-east of Lydford village. Here, the Dartmoor landscape presses close, its granite bones showing through the thin soil, and the sky often a vast, bruised canvas that promises rain. The air itself seems to carry the faint echoes of sheepdogs' calls and the lowing of cattle, a timeless murmur that has been the soundtrack to Shortacombe for generations. A winding lane, more a suggestion than a thoroughfare, threads its way past stone-built cottages, their slate roofs softened by lichen. The very light here has a particular quality, a milky luminescence that filters through the frequent cloud cover, lending a gentle, almost melancholic beauty to the rugged surroundings.
