Winkleigh is a gem, concealed deep within the rise and fall of the Mid Devon hills. As far as villages go it is quite large and has a strong community atmosphere, whilst still retaining many of its unique traditions (including an annual 750 year old country fayre). Winkleigh has many facilities, including: 2 pubs, a post office, general stores, a butchers, a vets, a doctor’s surgery, mechanics garage, a primary school, a chapel, sports centre, village hall and community hall…certainly enough to satisfy. For history enthusiasts the village is home to the ruins of two 12th Century castles – the only village in Devon that is. The closest supermarkets are in the towns of Okehampton (11 miles) & Crediton (14 miles), access to the A30 dual carriageway is under 10 miles, giving access to the depths of Cornwall or linking with the A303 to London.
