Southleigh is a small, quietly rural parish in East Devon, Devon, England, set among rolling farmland, hedgerows and pockets of ancient woodland. The lanes and footpaths make it appealing for walkers and those seeking a peaceful base a short drive from the county’s market towns and the famed Jurassic Coast.
Its character is traditionally agricultural, with a handful of hamlets and historic cottages clustered around a medieval parish church, and a local community that still revolves around village events and country pursuits. While the economy is largely shaped by farming, many residents commute to nearby towns, keeping the parish a quiet mix of long-standing rural life and modern village living.
