More than yesterday
A village still lived in.
Coleford's past makes it intriguing. The people, farms, homes and countryside of today are what make it a village rather than a historic exhibit.
The village today
Coleford is part of the wider community of Colebrooke parish. Rural life is still closely connected with neighbouring settlements, especially Colebrooke, Copplestone, Bow and Crediton.
Local institutions have changed over the centuries, but the village's scale remains human. An old inn can be a gathering place, a former workshop can become a home, and familiar buildings continue as part of ordinary village life.
