Welcome to Sandford

Sandford is a small village located in the county of Devon, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles north of Crediton and 10 miles west of Exeter. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings, including the 13th-century St. Swithun's Church. The village also has a primary school, a post office, and a village hall.

One of the main attractions in Sandford is the annual Sandford Village Fair, which takes place in July. The fair is a traditional event that has been held for over 100 years and includes a range of activities such as a dog show, a flower show, and a children's fancy dress competition. The fair also features a range of stalls selling local produce, crafts, and gifts. It is a great opportunity for visitors to experience the local community and enjoy a fun day out.

Sandford is also home to a number of walking and cycling routes, which allow visitors to explore the surrounding countryside. The village is located on the Tarka Trail, a 180-mile walking and cycling route that follows the path of the River Taw. The trail passes through some of Devon's most beautiful countryside and offers stunning views of the coast and countryside. Whether you are a keen walker or cyclist, Sandford is the perfect base for exploring the local area.
