Winkleigh Devon Map

About Winkleigh

Winkleigh, a village in the Torridge district of Devon, breathes the quietude of the South West countryside. It lies 7.1 km north-north-west of North Tawton (from North Tawton: bearing 332°T, OS grid SS 631 080), and is situated north-north-east of Broadwoodkelly village. Its broad, gently sloping streets suggest a history of open fields and scattered farmsteads, the hedgerows holding the soft, verdant light of Devon. The parish church, St. Mary's, with its sturdy tower, stands as a silent witness to centuries of village life, its stones warmed by the same sun that ripens the surrounding farmland. Though the ancient wool trade has long since faded, the spirit of self-reliance and connection to the land still colours the character of Winkleigh. The air here often carries the faint, earthy scent of damp soil and distant livestock, a comforting reminder of its agricultural heart.
