Chulmleigh is a ward in North Devon, Devon, England, centred on a small, hilltop market town surrounded by rolling farmland. The built environment mixes stone-fronted period houses and a parish church hinting at medieval origins, and its elevated position gives pleasant views over the surrounding countryside, making it a quiet rural hub between the moors and the coast.

The local economy is still largely agricultural - livestock and dairying - with a scattering of small businesses, shops and pubs and a notable local secondary, Chulmleigh Community College, anchoring community life. Socially the area is lively for its size, with markets, seasonal shows and active village groups, while residents also face familiar rural challenges such as limited public transport; the ward is also a convenient base for visitors exploring Exmoor and the North Devon coast.
