Weare Giffard is a charming village nestled in the heart of North Devon, rich in history and community spirit. Located just 2.5 miles northwest of Great Torrington, our village has a close-knit population, beautiful landscapes, and heritage buildings. The Church of the Holy Trinity and the adjacent Weare Giffard Hall are both Grade I listed as proud reminders of our storied past.

The village name, dating back to the 13th century, is believed to originate from an ancient fish weir in the River Torridge. Over the centuries, Weare Giffard has been shaped by the Giffard family and other notable descendants, whose legacy can still be seen in the historic monuments within the village church.

Today, Weare Giffard thrives as a vibrant community where locals come together for events at the Village Hall, cricket matches at The Park, and weekly gatherings such as coffee mornings and craft fairs. Our Parish Council and local groups work hard to preserve the village’s unique character, ensuring it remains a wonderful place for residents and visitors.

We invite you to explore the rich heritage and active community that make Weare Giffard a special place to call home.
