Pretty Devon river
 
Holsworthy Devon is a busy market town serving  large area of rural Devon. Standing in the centre of an underdeveloped part of the region, an ancient bleak landscape of narrow lanes and rolling hills with isolated farms, and hamlets with old cottages.
A plaque commemorating the great tree of Holsworthy stands at the corner of Friars Street, from which a Royal Charter was given in 1154 for the annual proclamation of St.Peters Fair held in July.
The pretty Maid Ceremony is another custom associated with Holsworthy. In 1841 a sum of money was left so that a single local woman under the age of 30, pretty, quiet with good attendance at church, could be given a small financial reward.
