HEMSFORD

This rural hamlet is situated near the village of Littlehempson which is situated just over a mile to the north east of Totnes. Located alongside the River Hems, a tributary of the Dart, and tidal up to Littlehempston Bridge, the village has a rural character, two pubs and its parish church of St John The Baptist. The village and surrounding countryside are within an area of great landscape value. Totnes is known as an Elizabethan town but has much earlier origins with a castle, a wonderful position on the River Dart and a main line railway station for quick access to Paddington. The town has a well-regarded community college, full range of shops, a weekly market and a wide choice of cultural facillites. The area is host to a variety of cultural, recreational and sporting pursuits: Dartmoor, the South Hams and the South Devon coastline are all within easy reach and both Exeter and Plymouth are within half an hour's drive.
