Chittlehampton is a rural ward in North Devon, Devon, England, centred on a traditional village set among rolling farmland and hedgerows. The area feels quintessentially country, with stone cottages, narrow lanes and a close-knit community that benefits from easy access to the coast and nearby moorland walking country.
Its most striking landmark is the large medieval parish church dedicated to St Urith (also called St Hieritha), complete with historic woodwork, a shrine and an ancient holy well that still features in local tradition and an annual feast. The local economy remains largely agricultural, with a handful of small businesses and modest tourism drawn to the peaceful countryside, historic buildings and village events.
