Chulmleigh

Chulmleigh is an historic hilltop market town situated roughly halfway between Exeter and Barnstaple, off the A377.  With a population of just over 1000 it is a friendly and popular location to live.  Chulmleigh has a primary and secondary school, medical centre, several churches, a range of shops including a deli, butchers and bakery, along with several sporting amenities including a golf club, gym, tennis courts and sports centre.

Chulmleigh is a vibrant and thriving community that has several clubs and societies to suit many interests, ranging from the arts, to history, to physical health.  There is also a weekly coffee morning held at the town hall in support of local charities; and a community café/prayer group run by the church.  Arguably one of the social highlights of the year is Chulmleigh Old Fair.  This takes place in mid-July and has been running since 1253.

Chulmleigh has a very successful secondary school called Chulmleigh College.  It is a relatively small school with around 600 pupils and has a music academy.  Many pupils travel in by coach from the surrounding network of small villages, hamlets and farms, that cover the area of a large city.
