Goodleigh Devon Map

About Goodleigh

Goodleigh rests in the gentle folds of North Devon's countryside, a place where the earth breathes a quiet, deep scent of soil and burgeoning green. It lies 4.4 km east-north-east of Barnstaple (from Barnstaple: bearing 74°T, OS grid SS 602 343), and is situated north-east of Westacott village. The clustered stone of its cottages, weathered by the salt-laced breezes that drift inland, speaks of a continuity as enduring as the ancient oaks that stand guard on the surrounding slopes. Sunlight, when it breaks through the often-grey Devon skies, falls in broad, luminous swathes across the fields, illuminating the rich, dark loam. Goodleigh’s church, a modest edifice of sturdy stone, anchors the heart of the hamlet, its spire a slender finger pointing towards the ever-changing heavens. A palpable sense of quietude pervades the air, a stillness that allows one to hear the rustle of unseen creatures in the hedgerows and the distant bleating of sheep on the higher ground.
