Davidstow

Davidstow sits in north Cornwall, a civil parish and village quietly poised north of Bodmin Moor. Straddling the A395, it lies about three miles (5 km) north of Camelford, offering a sense of place anchored by the surrounding moorland and the road that threads through it. The parish embraces several smaller communities: the hamlets of Hallworthy, Hendraburnick, Tremail and Trewassa each contribute to the wider tapestry of rural life here. Once known as Dewstow(e), Davidstow carries that history in its name while presenting a simple, authentic Cornish presence where parish and lanes meet the open landscape. For visitors drawn to the quiet corners of north Cornwall, Davidstow provides a straightforward base from which to appreciate the moor’s edge and the neighbouring settlements clustered within the parish. Its location on the A395 makes it an accessible stop on a drive through the region, delineating a small but distinct part of Cornwall’s northern countryside.
