A tiny settlement in the Ruby Country region of rural Devon, surrounded by stunning landscape (so named after the local Ruby Red Devon cattle). The unspoiled countryside of Devon is home to various pathways for cyclists and walkers.

About a 20-minute drive lies Okehampton, a major market town with a variety of stores and supermarkets. The stunning RHS Rosemoor gardens at Great Torrington, National Trust properties like Lydford Gorge, Castle Drogo, Cotehele, Buckland Abbey, and The Finch Foundry, as well as miles of breathtaking scenery, are all nearby. Bude's beautiful surfing and sandy beaches, as well as the larger attractions of the North Cornwall coast, such as Boscastle, Tintagel, Port Isaac, and Morwenstow, are also easily accessible. Due to its central location, Highampton is a great starting point for exploring this pristine region of Devon and North Cornwall.
