Holne September 2019 This settlement profile has been prepared by Dartmoor National Park Authority to provide an overview of key information and issues for the settlement. It has been prepared in consultation with Parish/Town Councils and will be updated as necessary. Settlement Profile: Holne 1 Introduction Holne is a small nucleated village with an irregular form lying on the south eastern slopes of Dartmoor about 3.5 miles west of Ashburton. There is a limited range of community services. The village is centred on its church, St Mary the Virgin, the Church House Inn and the village hall. A community shop and tea room has also been in operation for some time. Farming is important locally as well as tourism accommodation and hospitality. The central area is quite substantial and the oldest buildings are located here. The churchyard is of generous size. The site being slightly elevated ensures that the church stands proudly over its village.
