Chulmleigh

Chulmleigh ward encompasses a primarily rural area centred around the small market town of the same name. It sits on a ridge above the valleys of the River Yeo and Little Dart River, giving it elevated views across the surrounding North Devon countryside. The landscape is characterised by rolling farmland, patches of woodland, and scattered hamlets.

The town itself retains a historic core with several listed buildings, including the notable 15th-century parish church. The local economy has long been connected to agriculture and land management. A specific feature is the presence of Chulmleigh Old Church, a separate medieval site standing in isolation in a field, marking an earlier settlement focus.
