Culmstock is a small picturesque Devon village nestling on the edge of the Blackdown Hills, designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The River Culme glides gently through the village under the old narrow stone bridge giving a feeling of tranquility to Culmstock. The village has a pub, a deli shop with a café, a post office and garage. All Saints church dating back to the 12th century is built on a slope near the river and has a 200 year old yew tree growing out of the tower, which means it requires watering regularly by pouring water from the top of the tower. There are some fabulous walks from the village, and from nearby Culmstock Beacon there are magnificent views of the Culme Valley. The charm of the area around the Blackdown Hills is partly retained by the sparsely populated landscape and pretty villages relying significantly on farming. From Culmstock, the rolling hills of Exmoor are less than forty minutes drive away providing opportunities for horse riding, fishing and bird watching. Being midway between the North and South Devon coasts, Culmstock is an ideal base to explore all aspects of Devon’s natural beauty. There are some excellent family attractions in the area including Diggerland, Crealy Adventure Park and Knighthayes Court owned by the National Trust. And the attractive small Somerset market town of Wellington is less than ten minutes drive, with attractive buildings and unusual shops. There is plenty to keep the whole family occupied when staying in Culmstock.
