About

Winkleigh ward encompasses the large rural parish of Winkleigh itself, along with several surrounding hamlets and farmsteads spread across a primarily agricultural landscape. The area is characterised by rolling countryside and is situated on a high ridge of land between the River Taw and River Torridge valleys. Settlement is focused on the village, which serves as a local hub with essential services for the wider farming community.

The ward's history is visibly rooted in its former military function, with the remains of a significant Royal Air Force station from the Second World War located to the north of the village. This large, flat expanse of former airfield land contrasts with the surrounding fields and hedgerows. Economic activity remains closely tied to the land, with the local community oriented around the central village and its parish church.
