Heanton Punchardon lies on the seaward end of a sharp ridge, and commands very fine land and sea views. Chivenor, a 13th century settlement, is now the site of a large aerodrome, chosen because it was one of the few level stretches of land in North Devon. The church is finely sited on the end of the ridge. Heanton Court, beside the Taw Estuary, was the seat of a younger branch of the Bassett family from the 15th century down to 1802. It is now a farmhouse.
