Its elevated position gives pleasant rural views across the surrounding farmland and lanes, and the village sits comfortably on the edge of the patchwork of hedged fields and woodlands typical of this part of Devon.
Today West Hill is largely residential with a close‑knit community, popular with walkers and cyclists who use the network of public footpaths.
