Scorriton

Scoriton is a tiny village in the county of Devon, England, and the main centre of habitation of the parish of West Buckfastleigh.[1]

Description

[edit]
The Tradesman's Arms.

The village is about three miles northwest of Buckfastleigh and is situated within the boundaries of Dartmoor National Park.

The village consists largely of about a dozen stone-built cottages, but there are also 4 local authority houses, and a farm in the centre of the village, also a popular inn with food and accommodation, called The Tradesman's Arms.[2] Faced with the closure of the inn in 2008, four regulars decided to buy the property and reopen it.[3] The inn is still open and thriving as of August 2026.

The Scoriton Country Show is held annually on August Bank Holiday Monday in a field on the outskirts of the village near the Stumpy oak, it is now in its 77th year. There is also an annual Christmas black-tie 'Ball in the Hall' which is held at the Scoriton Village Hall.

[edit]

Bus line 672 of Country Bus Devon calls at The Tradesman's Arms every Thursday (except for public holidays): 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.[4]
