About Southcombe Barn

The natural look is achieved by allowing the most colourful of the Devon woodland and hedgerow flowers to colonise as much as they like. They alone would look lovely but the intense colour of it all is made greater still with flowers like the blue camassia quamash which take over from the bluebells and insanely vibrant deciduous azaleas so the pink and yellow of the campion, pink purslane and buttercup really hum.
