For those who aren’t familiar, the South-West Coast Path is England’s longest official footpath and runs for 630 miles between Minehead in Somerset to Poole Harbour in Dorset, and if you start the trail at Minehead, then Bossington Hill will be the first part of your journey.

The village centre harks back to a bygone era when it was part of the Cockington Manor Estate: It has all the quintessential ingredients of what every visitor’s idea of an old Devon village should look like; a place where thatched cottages with hanging baskets entice people into their gift shop or garden for the obligatory Devon ‘Cream Tea’, but there’s more to Cockington than that, and in a separate article I will be describing the estate that surrounds the village which is now a 420-acre Country Park. In this blog though, I’m going to give a short introduction as to how the ancient manor became what it is today and what the village has to offer.
