Latest house prices for Umberleigh

Straddling the River Taw in a steep-sided valley, Umberleigh is a quiet but vital North Devon hub defined largely by its historic bridge and its place on the Tarka Line. It grew around a medieval manor and the site of a former chantry, though today the layout is practical, centered on the train station which provides a direct, scenic rail link between Barnstaple and Exeter. The village is split between the parishes of Atherington and Chittlehampton, and while it lacks a traditional high street, it retains a strong sense of utility with its primary school, a busy village hall, and a riverside pub that has long served as a landmark for those traveling the A377. Life here is dictated by the landscape; the river is a constant presence, popular with anglers for its salmon and trout, while the surrounding rising timbered hills offer a sense of seclusion without the village feeling cut off from the rest of the county.
