Sourton is a small village and civil parish in West Devon, England. It lies about 4 miles (6.4 km) south-west of Okehampton. It is at the north-western extremity of Dartmoor, a National Park of England and Wales, and lies along the A386 road.The historic map of Sourton shows that it is located near a river and the Sourton forest this can be seen in the image below.

According to the 2001 census Sourton parish had a population of 406,^[1] and according to the 2011 census it had a population of 420.^[2] There is a public house in Sourton. In the 1870s Sourton was described as

SOURTON, a parish, with a few small hamlets, in Okehampton district, Devon; 5 miles SW of Okehampton r. station. Post town, Bridestow, North Devon^[3]

One of Sourtons main tourist attractions is the Highwayman Inn which was built in 1812. In 1959 the Highwayman Inn was transformed into a fairy-tale and Aladdin's cave, this included the old Launceston to Tavistock coach being used as the entrance to the inn.^[4] The main reason for the Highwayman Inn being a tourist attraction is due to the claims of the Highwayman Inn being the most haunted in Britain.^[5]
