Southleigh Devon Map

About Southleigh

Southleigh rests in a fold of East Devon's rolling countryside. It lies 3.9 km west of Colyton (from Colyton: bearing 261°T, OS grid SY 206 935), and is situated south-south-east of Northleigh village. The lanes that thread through Southleigh often carry the scent of damp earth and wild garlic, especially in the spring when the hedgerows are a riot of hawthorn blossom. The village's ancient church, St. Laurence, stands as a quiet sentinel, its stone weathered by centuries of Devonshire rain, a subtle reminder of the enduring spirit of this place. Fields of barley, gold under the summer sun, stretch towards the horizon, their gentle sway a silent testament to the agricultural heart that beats within Southleigh. The light here, particularly in the late afternoon, possesses a peculiar softness, as if filtered through a veil of memory, lending a timeless quality to the clustered cottages and the quiet village green.
