Scorriton


Scoriton is a small village in the county of Devon, England, and the main centre of habitation of the parish of West Buckfastleigh.

Description

The village is close to the town of Buckfastleigh and is situated just inside the boundaries of Dartmoor National Park.
The village consists largely of stone-built cottages, but there are also about 20 council houses, a farmhouse, and a popular inn, called The Tradesman's Arms. Faced with the closure of the inn in 2008, four regulars decided to buy the property and reopen it. The inn is still open as of November 2015.

Transportation

Bus line 672 of Country Bus Devon calls at The Tradesman's Arms twice every Thursday : once at 10:11 towards Buckfastleigh, Ashburton, Seale, and Newton Abbot, and once at 14:15 towards Holne, Poundsgate, Ponsworthy, Widecombe, and Buckland-in-the-Moor.

Twinning

The village is twinned with the commune of Fontaine-Henry, Calvados, France.
