Chittlehampton is a small rural parish in North Devon, Devon, England, set among rolling farmland and hedgerowed lanes typical of the area. The village sits on higher ground with views over surrounding river valleys and is made up of a compact core of cottages and farmsteads rather than urban development.
It is renowned for its medieval parish church dedicated to St Urith (Hieritha) and the adjoining holy well, a long-standing focus of local devotion and occasional pilgrimage, and the church’s impressive 15th‑century tower is a notable landmark. The local economy is largely agricultural, supplemented by small businesses and rural tourism, while community life revolves around church activities and village events that sustain a strong local identity.
