About

Uffculme and Hemyock are neighbouring villages situated in the Culm Valley in eastern Mid Devon. The area is defined by the River Culm and its surrounding farmland, with a landscape of gentle, rolling hills. Uffculme is positioned along the A373, giving it a more linear settlement pattern, while Hemyock is centred around its historic castle site. Local agriculture remains a visible part of the economy and scenery here.

The villages share a history connected to the wool trade, evident in Uffculme's large 19th-century mill complex, Coldharbour Mill, which now operates as a working museum. Hemyock is notable for the earthwork remains of a 14th-century castle, which played a role in the English Civil War. The area is served by the Culm Valley Link road, connecting it to the M5 motorway and the larger town of Cullompton, which provides broader services for these communities.
