Home Church

Home Church sits quietly in Devon, a modest place of worship that rewards those who actually bother to seek it out rather than stick to the obvious tourist trail. It's the sort of spot that makes you wonder why it isn't more widely known - though perhaps that's rather the point. The building itself has genuine character, the kind that comes from real age and genuine use rather than heritage trust restoration budgets.

Walkers and local history types will appreciate this far more than casual day-trippers. There's no grand architecture to photograph, no gift shop, no queues. What you get instead is authenticity - a proper working church that's been part of the landscape for centuries. You'll need to check opening hours locally as they're not widely advertised, and admission appears to be free, though a small donation would be reasonable if you go inside.

Allow maybe twenty minutes unless you're genuinely interested in the finer points of Devon ecclesiastical architecture. It works brilliantly as part of a broader walk rather than a destination in itself. If you're camped at Parkdean Resorts Torquay Holiday Park or staying somewhere like Brownscombe Luxury Glamping nearby, it's worth incorporating into a morning ramble. The Torquay area offers plenty more substantial attractions if you need them - this is more of a punctuation mark on a good day out than a main event.
