The small rural parish of Woodleigh sits in the district of South Hams in Devon, England. Set amid rolling farmland and wooded lanes a short distance inland from the coast, it offers classic Devon countryside - hedgerows, narrow lanes and pocketed valleys - and is within easy reach of the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The community is modest and village-centred, with a historic parish church and a scattering of old farmhouses that hint at medieval and agricultural roots. Farming remains important locally, supplemented by small-scale tourism and commuters to nearby towns, while village events and the hall sustain a close-knit social life typical of rural Devon parishes.
