Goodleigh is a small, quiet village in North Devon, Devon, England, set in the rolling hedged farmland typical of the region. It feels distinctly rural with stone cottages and lanes, and sits within easy reach of the market town of Barnstaple and the scenic attractions of the North Devon coast and Exmoor, making it convenient for both day trips to the sea and inland walking.

Historically the settlement has agricultural roots and retains a village-centred social life, with occasional local events and a slow-paced community character; economically it is shaped by farming, rural trades and the spill‑over of tourism and commuting to nearby towns. Its combination of countryside tranquillity and accessibility gives it the understated charm many people seek in Devon village life.
