Description
The area around Christow is a mixture of habitats. The village area, woodland, open farmland often surrounded by 'devon hedges', a younger area of woodland (press STAR on map) that frequently has a number of Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus) and very narrow roads. Away from the village you are very unlikely to meet any vehicles or people.
