It is situated 2.6 miles South of Hartland; the parish village, 14.3 miles West of its post town Bideford, and 12.7 miles North of the nearest town Bude in Cornwall.[2] The hamlet gives its name to a stretch of moorland to the south of its location, an area adjacent to Bursdon Moor, a site of special scientific interest.[3] History and BuildingsA round house is present at West Tosberry Farm, built adjacent to a barn that once housed a stationary threshing machine. The round house gave horses comfortable working conditions as they drove the machine by way of pulleys and belts. The building is still present today, although its use has changed. A carpentry and wheelwright was also present in the hamlet at Tosberry Grove, established at the turn of the twentieth century by William Walter, the son of Richard Walter, a local carpenter and wheelwright. William was a close friend of Thomas Cory Burrow, the editor of the Hartland Chronicle; the local newspaper at the time, and was also a founding member of Hartland Town Band.[4] References1. ^No. of permanent residents as of Nov 2015 according to residents of settlement. {{Torridge}}2. ^Ordnance Survey: Explorer Map Sheet 126 Clovelly & Hartland {{ISBN|9780319236970}} and Explorer Map Sheet 111 Bude, Boscastle & Tintagel {{ISBN|9780319236963}} 3. ^{{cite web | title=NE Bursdon Moor| url={{sssi link|1002382}} }} 4. ^Hartland - A Village in Time {{ISBN|0951875809}} 2 : Hamlets in Devon|Torridge District |
