Chulmleigh is a small rural parish and market town in North Devon, Devon, England, sitting on high ground amid rolling farmland. Its origins are medieval and the centre still bears historic stone buildings and a parish church, giving a compact market‑town character with narrow streets and a sense of local continuity with the past.
The local economy remains largely agricultural, supported by a scattering of independent shops, pubs and small businesses, while community life is centred on village halls, clubs and a secondary school. The area is popular with walkers and riders attracted to Devon lanes and hedgerow scenery, and regular community events and shows reflect a close‑knit social fabric rather than large‑scale tourism.
