Boswell History

Boswell House is grade II listed and was built in the 17th century but the site dates back to pre-Norman times, ‘Boswell' being mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. About 1860 Boswell became a working farm and has remained so until today, with many of the original buildings and features intact.

LOCATION

Boswell Farm nestles alongside the Snod brook in the secluded Sweetcombe Valley, which lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. In fact the word ‘snod' is a medieval word meaning pretty!

There are breathtaking views across a timeless landscape, the valley with its woods and the little Devon fields that climb its slopes. Here is an abundance of wildlife - badgers, deer, buzzards and kingfishers to mention but a few!

The farm animals - chickens, geese, and goats, with sheep and South Devon Red cattle grazing nearby.

Within 2 miles is the Heritage Coast and sea front at Sidmouth whose Regency charm has been carefully preserved.
