Widecombe lies in a valley created by the East Webbern river. The name Widecombe is derived from 'Withy-combe' - meaning 'Willow Valley'.

Your first glimpses of the village of Widecombe in the Moor is of a picturesque little hamlet that nestles snuggly between rolling green hills of Devon farmland, with a spectacular backdrop of granite tors and moorland. The village has a coach and car park, as well as the usual collection of craftshops and tea rooms serving refreshments.

At the centre of the village is a triangular shaped green, with a collection of mature trees. The trees have seating fixed around their trunks, allowing you to sit and relax, whilst you enjoy the stunning views of the church set against a moorland vista.

The church of St Pancras is aptly named the 'Cathedral of the Moors'. The church spire is a well known local landmark, visible for many miles. The church was originally built in the 14th century, and enlarged over the following two centuries, partly on the proceeds of the local tin mining trade.

The village of Widecombe in the Moor, is world-famous for its fair, held annually on the second Tuesday in September. The Fair gave rise to the well-known folksong 'Widecombe Fair' and the characters of Uncle Tom Cobley and All. The village fair probably began as a simple market, but it has grown over the years into a local institution, with gymkhana, and pony shows, demonstrations, competitions, sheep and cattle shows, numerous sideshows, races and refreshments.
