Woolfardisworthy, commonly known as Woolsery, is a small village and civil parish in the district of Torridge in Devon, England. Set in the rolling farmland of North Devon and close to the estuarine landscape of the River Torridge, it has the feel of a traditional rural settlement with stone cottages, hedgerowed lanes and easy access to coastal walking and nearby market towns.
Historically agricultural - its name goes back to an Old English personal name - village life still centres on farming alongside a village pub, a medieval-rooted parish church and an active community hall that hosts fetes and markets. The local economy mixes dairying and arable farming with a modest tourism boost from walkers and visitors exploring the North Devon coast, and the place is well known locally for its friendly community spirit and distinctive name.
