St James' Church Luffincott is a remote hamlet just above the wooded valley of the River Tamar, which forms the border with Cornwall.

Valley near West Peeke The square is dominated by this deep valley carrying a small tributary of the Tamar westwards (to the right). The lane is a no through road from the farm at West Peeke, which turns sharply up the valley at this point, crossing it at the eastern edge of the square (<a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/609362">SX3493 : Lane across the valley</a>).
