The parish of Bickleigh lies in Mid Devon, Devon, England, set along the banks of the River Exe a short hop from Tiverton. It occupies classic Devon rolling countryside of mixed pasture and wooded valleys, with a compact village core of stone cottages, a church with medieval features and an old stone bridge that gives the place a timeless feel.
Historically agricultural, the local economy still revolves around farming but has diversified into rural tourism, holiday lets and small enterprises; walkers and canoeists make use of the river and quiet lanes, while village life centres on a pub, a village hall and seasonal fetes that sustain a strong community spirit. The parish’s period houses and easy access to nearby market towns make it attractive to those seeking a rural Devon lifestyle without being too remote.
