Nestled just three miles southeast of Barnstaple, Landkey manages to retain its own distinct village identity despite its proximity to the town’s modern amenities. The geography of the place is defined by its position along the valley of the Landkey Stream, with the older heart of the village situated around the 15th-century St Paul’s Church and its striking white-rendered tower. Historically, the area was renowned for the Landkey Mazzard - a small, dark cherry once grown in extensive orchards here - and while many of those orchards have vanished, the fruit remains a point of local pride. Practicality is a key draw; the village is bypassed by the A361 North Devon Link Road, providing straightforward access toward Tiverton and the M5, yet the village core stays relatively quiet. Residents have the benefit of a well-regarded primary school and a couple of traditional pubs, while the Millennium Green provides a significant open space for walking, connecting the newer housing developments with the surrounding rolling character of the North Devon countryside.
