Sandford is a small village in Devon, England.

It has a community-owned shop and post office, two pubs and a school along with a church and minor football and cricket teams.

It is linked by cycle path to nearby Crediton through the Millennium Green - a wild flower meadow with herb garden, example of cob walling, and a large pond.

The award-winning local vegetable box scheme prides itself on the fact that ALL the vegetables are organic and home-grown.

[edit] History

The Grade II listed school main building dates from 1825 and is notable for its classical Greek architecture and cob walls - thought to be the highest of their kind in the country.
