Situation - Chulmleigh is a small but busy town set in the heart of rural Devon.

The market town of South Molton to the north and Crediton to the south both offer a more comprehensive range of facilities and the local railway station at Eggesford, 2 miles, provides a rail link between Exeter and Barnstaple. Road link is via the A377 or the North Devon Link Road, which can easily be accessed at South Molton. Barnstaple, North Devon’s regional centre, and the Cathedral and University City of Exeter both offer the wide range of shopping, amenities and facilities one would expect from the county’s principal town and city. Tiverton, the M5 motorway at Junction 27 and Tiverton Parkway station, which provides a fast Intercity rail link to London Paddington, are both approximately forty-five minute’s drive. There is also an international airport at Exeter.

There are excellent recreational and sporting facilities in the area with a Community Sports Centre in Chulmleigh offering a well equipped fitness suite, football clubs, badminton, netball, tennis and judo. There are further Leisure Centres in Crediton, South Molton, Barnstaple & Okehampton, fishing in the rivers Taw and Torridge, further near-by golf courses at Libbaton, High Bullen and Down St Mary, excellent walking and riding in all directions, racecourses at Haldon Exeter and Newton Abbot, and sailing and watersports on North Devon's scenic and rugged coastline, being approximately three-quarters of an hour's drive.
