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.
DIRECTIONS : From the B3220 take the turning into the village square, to the end of the square take Castle Street and Lower Primrose Cottage can be found just along to the left.
