The village prides itself on its strong community spirit and stunning natural surroundings. At its heart is the Millennium Path, a scenic walking and cycling route that connects Sandford to Crediton. This path not only serves as a literal link between the village and the town but also represents the close-knit relationship between the communities, offering residents the perfect balance of rural peace and easy access to a wider range of facilities in Crediton.

The village boasts a rich history and culture, with its lovely old architecture and landscapes telling stories of the past. Central to village life are the Lamb Inn and the Rose and Crown, two traditional pubs known for their warm welcome, delicious food, and the role they play as gathering places for villagers. 

Sandford offers excellent facilities for families and individuals alike. The village is served by Sandford Primary School, highly regarded for its commitment to providing a nurturing and high-quality education.
